HALF-LIGHT
september 5 – october 15
On the other side of half-light is half-dark.
My new body of photomontages gives equal focus to what’s obscured as to what’s revealed. I’m drawn to the strange beauty that unfolds just before total darkness — when the familiar dissolves into the uncanny. Scenes we think we know are subtly altered; their details soften, their boundaries shift. A house becomes its own doppelgänger — recognizable, yet transformed. Rooflines give way to crisp triangles against sloping curves, while identifying features blur and recede.
In this in-between light, abstraction takes hold. The expected, memorized image of nature is interrupted, replaced by a fleeting chance to experience surprise and novelty. The half-light draws attention to structure over specificity — to the impression rather than the particular. This aligns with my ongoing desire to conjure mood, memory, and atmosphere — not to describe, but to evoke.

“[The Pictorialists] placed mood above matter, spirit above physical phenomena. They did not obscure reality, but they let down a veil over their subjects that obliterated the non-essentials, stressing ‘the artistic witchcraft of suggestion.’”
