10 Little Images

I am exhibiting the following images at the last installment of Project Space 2012, in Salem. I refer to them as "10 Little Images" because, due to the limited space afforded me, I printed the images each about 5"X8" on Moab Entrada Bright Rag 190 gsm Archival  fine art paper.

This is from the artist statement: The theme for Project Space 2012 is “Works in  Progress.” The 10 images exhibited here were all taken during 2012, with most taken prior to June, when I had surgery. Two were taken as recently as two weeks ago. I deliberately use the word, taken,in the spirit of Minor White and his writings on “found photography”: The photographs were there, I simply found them... and “took them.” For the most part, these images display an absence of human artifacts or influence. There are no people in them. With the exception of the two images from August (”Prayer with Shroud” and “Bouquet Remnant”) the images were taken exactly as I found them.
