revel in the light

"I need to trust the continuous pulse of that which gently prods and of that which tenderly insists." – Nancy Rotenberg

Between these covers is an exhibition in a book. Upon viewing it someone recently said, "I don't merely look at these images, I fall into them." This collection represents the culmination of six years of practice and experimentation to cultivate the artist's unique eye for "seeing" into the ethereal nature of macro botanicals. They are not meant to document flowers – but rather to pursue light and nuance, while capturing gesture and form to reveal the hidden essence of the subject. Some of the images bridge the gap between photography and painting and seem to be infused with divine energy. This handmade book was created and bound by the artist as a one of a kind.

“I work to attain a ”state of heart,” a gentle space offering inspirational substance that could purify one’s vision. Photography, like music, must be born in the unmanifest world of spirit.” – Paul Caponigro

"The essential nature of everything is worthy of being known." – from verse 100 of Shri Guru Gita
