Seeing 2011 (#64)

For your consideration: a domestic vision rendered as an alien atmospheric landscape — a macro photograph of a glass pane from a friend's front door.

Ultimately, for beings of Our Kind all realities are defined and informed by their manifestation in light.

In the vast spectrum available, I've long been utterly fascinated by the perception of blacks: at times indicating an absence of material, yet often instead speaking to cloaked solids. It remains difficult for me to truly comprehend the notion of an inexistence of light ever being properly understood as the presence of substance — something from nothing . . . yet we arrive wired to accommodate this strange reality.
