Underlying Form vs Superficial Representation

Our exterior tends to dominate as a superficial indicator of who we are. As our appearances create false representations we seem to loose sight of the form in which everything is held within.  Forging a more complex and faulty system to categorize how we interpret the daily stimulus within our lives.  Thus causing less of a sense of commonality amongst people and nature.  However if we look closely past the representations that go hand in hand with what we see, and more at the underlying forms that all things occupy, we might begin to see things more similarly, forgetting about the faulty judgments we tend to assign toward what we are unsure of in our world.  These next series of prints are all aligned toward this idea of underlying form and superficial representation.  Each piece was shot with 35 mm film, printed in the dark room, then scanned into the computer to be colorized and reprinted.  I chose to display the inversions along with the reversion of each photo in a diptych form in order to help our eyes look more closely at form and shape along with the difference our eyes treat the inverted photos on the left hand side, and the reverted ones on the right hand side.  My goal is to help train our eyes to interpret whats in front of us differently,  allowing us to constantly remember the duality and complexities all things on this planet possess.  I wanted to represent the beauty and positivity within these ideas by finding various color harmonies to lead our eyes across each piece.  Allowing the viewer to more comfortably focus on  the forms we see and the meaning we create within them.   By adjusting the way we look at things, and by searching deeper for similarities within each-other, we might change the way we perceive a stranger and adjust the way we treat our land.
