"The contemporary artist...is not bound to a fully conceived, previsioned end. His mind is kept alert to in-process discovery and a working rapport is established between the artist and his creation. While it may be true, as Nathan Lyons stated, 'The eye and the camera see more than the mind knows,' is it not also conceivable that the mind knows more than the eye and the camera can see?"

-Jerry Uelsmann

 

PixNote:

This is a "digital painting" of an original picture which means that I have post-process image in order to look a bit like a painting. I do so with Photoshop, using filters and a graphic pen on a Wacom Tablet.
