Artist Statement
Everything that we experience is the work of the Mind. Descartes put it well :"I think ,therefore I am ". Put simply , we can say that the Mind, through our senses ,leads us to believe that we exist. It is easy but logical to conclude that indeed Mind is the ultimate reality.
However, over the decades, I came to understand and believe that there is a space, another " etat" which is not of the mind, but beyond it. This has been the concern in my work over the years.
Process Statement
The photogram has been a good mean to express those ideas. Photograms are a simple way to register the action of the light on a surface coated with metal salts ( generally silver ). They utilize the basic principles of photography ( chemistry and physics ). I came to call my present work " photogenic drawings " , because I directly contact print my transparent drawings on photographic paper.
