Avant-Garde Photographic Impressionism
All of the photographs in this Collection were created in-camera during a three-year photographic study of a public museum environment. The Unaltered State of Reality Collection is a very large body of several thousand photographs which are grouped into five Sub-Collections: Copper Visions, Fractured Panes, Reflections, Textured Visions and Translucent Visions. Over a three year period I made 163 weekly visits to create avant-garde photographic artwork from the de Young Museum in San Francisco, California with the intention of creating art from a museum space, rather than visiting the museum to view the artwork of others. I set out to make images that provide a history of visitor interaction, the museum's architectural design, and to document its dynamic and static public environment.
