ARTIST STATEMENT - DISTANT is a short photographic project inspired by the isolation I experienced during the height of the Covid pandemic. As a street photographer, I always look to capture moments where the formal elements are arranged to create a visual interest, but my approach was different than usual. Instead of being close to my […]
ARTIST STATEMENT - Memories are based on our experiences with some being strong and others blurred. My childhood memories seem to be just traces of moments from my past. Perhaps childhood memories represent an intersection where reality and our interpretation of reality cross thus forming those that are strong memories that contribute to our sense of […]
ARTIST STATEMENT - Bruce Cohen chose this theme for very personal reasons: Drawn to the unique shapes and colors found in closely cropped abstractions of woodland nature, his images reflect his views of life during these pandemic times.

These pears are a metaphor for the richness of life; they retain a unique visual energy; they have an attractive anthropomorphic shape that […]
Artist Statement: Before COVID-19, SARS, and the Spanish Flu, the leading cause of death in many U.S. cities was tuberculosis. Reaching epidemic proportions in the early 20th Century, the need to treat tuberculosis coincided with public health awareness of tuberculosis as a communicable disease that required both improvements in housing and adequate isolation of the […]
Artist Statement: At some point during their career photographers may realise that vintage photos have more atmosphere than their own photographs, no matter how much work they put into them.
