Kaleidoscope was a multi media exhibit at Studio 617 from March 31st until April 26th, 2017.
It was my intention to stay close to the theme in my work for this show. I love to combine an organic nature photo with abstract effects in post processing. :)
This is the image from the Facebook event page. Artist unknown.
---------
“Drift Past the Flowers” was inspired by the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky
With Diamonds” in which they sing “the girl with kaleidoscope eyes”. I enjoyed
choosing the bright, psychedelic colors. A fun, dreamy song for them. :)
---------
“Refashion” is my interpretation of man mirroring nature with the creation of
this metal flower, as well as nature mirroring itself in the flower’s symmetry.
---------
“Chasing the Fourth” is a reference to the fourth dimension…mysterious
in fact and fiction. When I was taking that photograph I was fascinated by
the light bokeh from the sunrise behind these wild grasses. I wanted to create
a small amount of an abstract mirror effect using it.
---------
“Polity Polarity” is a social and political observation referring to our present
state in our country on the news, social media, etc.. Polity is a word rarely
used but it is another term for society or nation.
