Leseproben

Illumination series.
Renaissance artists affirmed the transformational nature of light in their classical
paintings. Taddeo Gaddi and Giotto di Bondone of the Renaissance period
painted breathtaking frescoes in which light created dramatic effects. Artists,
such as these masters, inspired me to create photomontages that highlight the
aesthetic power of light.
Following recent travels in Italy, I was awed by the metaphysical nature of Tuscan
light. The unique light accentuated the brilliance of the Renaissance artistic
and architectural masterpieces. I came away with the understanding that light
exposes possibilities and opens the mind to seeing things differently. Illumination,
a series of photomontages, illustrates stories about personal beliefs and seeing things in a different light.
