The Tale of Two Lenses

The second in a series of monochromatic self portraits, The Tale of Two Lenses personifies the duality of the creator.

The pulsing viewing lens looking outward, represents the creator’s infinite vision for images to come. Hopeful and full of light this lens never stops creating.

The bottom lens which goes directly to the Gowlandflex film plane, looking inward and in darkness represents the insecurity and pain of creative inaction. Without light, no images are created
