Santiago Vanegas (see untitled work below) : "My images are about the relationship between reality and perception. I confront elements/ideas with contexts to create a contradiction.The elements depicted are neither essential, nor accidental in the world. They are elemental and susceptible to each other and their environment."
Joel Conison (see Great Horned Owl, above right): "Simplicity is what I strive for when making images. Showing only what is needed and eliminating the rest. Generally, I am interested in isolating tones or colors, intentionally not creating a full toned or multi-colored image. Formal issues are always a concern. How line, form, tone and space work, and work together. Negative space becomes important also. At times scale and proportion become flexible. Without scale or proportion a questioning of the objects reality is introduced, thus its representational qualities become insufficiently factual, or abstract. I am not interested in the pictorial nature of things photographed but trying to move the representation to the suggestive."
