APR THAUMATURGY I
The THAUMATURGIES evolved from the portraiture - sometimes bracketed by as many as 20 1/3rd’s in series of 4, to find the ideal exposure for the aesthetic combination of the refracted color and light that attracted me, giving me a range of sometimes as many as 20 images of one image at 20 different exposures, giving me an opportunity to enhance their aesthetic mirroring them, resulting in the spontaneous THAUMATURGIES, that I imagine ARE expressions of the imaginary 20th C art spirits that taught me how to SEE, come to participate in my exploration of them in appreciation of my knowing they exist - expressing themselves in compositions of the neglected phenomenon of refraction, making them UNIQUE to photography.
