Brian Flinn - For Brian Flinn, his latest collection of mixed and digital media work is just as much about the journey, as it is about the destination: Landscape as subject in my work is rare, but over the past year and a half, I’ve spent a good amount of time walking through landscapes; from here to there, back around, and many, many times off on a tangent. This series draws a good deal of its imagery from some of these walks. There are scans, and graphic elements, included in the compositions, but most of the imagery derives from the camera, and what it notes along the way when I push the shutter button. Relationships between the images in each piece hold a compatible dissonance for me, and build a narrative of time passed, more than the moment experienced. They represent in various ways the imaginative wanderings of the mind, as much as the meanderings of my legs

R.F. Wilton - presents a fraction of his photographs from an ongoing “passive collaboration” between himself and fellow artist Bob Parker: With this body of work, I offer selections from an ongoing project that can be described as a passive collaboration between the artist Bob Parker and myself. As I encountered Mr. Parker’s evocative and startling work, I examined my responses and sought to document, interpret and re-create those impressions. I sensed glimpses into what seemed to be phantoms, apparitions and scenes from the darker, murkier realms of the subconscious. I often strove to express the sensation of visions emerging from the darkness into the light of comprehension. Considered from an intellectual approach, the project can be seen, among other things, to probe the relationships between object, apperception, response and re-presentation. As a marked departure from the type of imagery for which I am more widely recognized, this project afforded me a fresh and exhilarating level of creative experimentation and freedom.
