"The black & white series are compositions built on geometric shapes. Their grayscale effects are enhanced by balacing light against dark fields." (txt: Gardner Keaton)
"All visual experience is filtered, as the brain categorizes and creates patterns in order to attempt an understanding of what is being experienced. I am interested in creating visual fields that challenge this function, and leave the mind in a state of suspension between recognition and unrecognition. My subject matter is derived from photographs of the contemporary inhabited environment, and are records of my daily experience. I translate, reduce, and transform these images through a meticulous process that is descriptive of both the struggle to discover pattern, and the acceptance of unintelligible complexity." (Mindy Bray °1979)
