October.20.2008 Andrew Rose Liminal @ The Nu'uanu Gallery

21.10.2008 - 26.11.2008 at the Nu'uanu Gallery in Honululu, HI
Liminal aims to communicate the sense we all often feel of being on the indistinct edge of greater understanding through an allegorically layered visual vocabulary Rose developed while he hiked distant deserts and dense rainforests and surfed lonely coasts and crowded breaks. Rose's subject matter of oceans, shores, clouds, and rain are relative to his water-based materials including gouache, acrylic, and water-color inasmuch as the content is manifested by itself to talk about itself: the subject of water is rendered in water-based media and manipulated to look beautifully fluid, wet, submerged, and misty.

I'm on the rojo magazine mailing list and this came today and I thought it very pleasant.

May.26.2008 The Beauty of a Mistake

Photography, or 'writing with light', is sometimes completely unpredictable and these two images are examples of that phenomenon.  These are images taken with an Holga camera and were over or under or improperly exposed - I really don't know, but I do like the result.
