“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause in wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed.”~ Albert Einstein
“And there were great openings.”
~ George Fox
“This series is a combination of portraits, still lifes and landscapes. Contemporary yet timeless, reminiscent of the earliest stages of photography. Against the grain of current trends… A decidedly different pace and rhythm in contrast to our often harried, over stimulated life style. Arcadian, Pastoral- two terms that have appeal.
The portraits are titled Princess Li in order to evoke a morally regal person emitting beauty from within.
There is probably a reference to the Virgin Mary myth and influence of Quaker philosophy which encourages modesty, silence and meditating on light. The landscapes and still lifes are more like abstract equivalents to create a particular ambience; an imaginary world that balsams frayed senses.”
