Intimate with Nature Series: inspired by Chinese, Japanese and Indian notions of beauty, mystery, and defining interests in the common place or austere

 Collection-1    (GALLERY IMAGES COMING SOON!)

Creep along the forest floor or climb tree limbs and seek the often hidden spaces in bushes, thick grass and behind rocks, or explore the crevasse of tree-bark and moss examining the intricacies and interaction between light, shadow and texture. Take a full breath and smell the varied Earthy scents of fall or the sweet smell of roses and wild flowers in spring. Thus, I invite you to look closely and seek more than what initially meets the eye and perceived as austere, or common place objects in nature, and instead, explore and find deeper meaning within your immediate environment. In this instant, and for the artist photographer the camera is a tool to capture artistic perspectives that bring to print a swatch of the normally hidden beauty, mystery and foremost, reality that surround our space.

  This first group of photographic compositions bring attention the wonders along the forest floor, while glancing skyward reveals light, texture and shadows from roots to treetops.

  As always, all my compositions are available in a Limited Edition of only 1, 2 or 3 copies: each work is matted and framed with the highest quality of materials. Each piece is titled and signed and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Contact: lance.visualizingart@gmail.com
