Greetings from Peter Staats PhotoDesign,
a full service photo studio embedded in our city's lovely Eastside.
On display
during EAST '05 is Lures, Shells and the Fisherman, a photographic
series of oversized images of the art of design found in nature and
in artifact. This year I chose to explore seashells and collectable
fishing lures in the quest for fresh visuals. Seashells were discovered
to be textbook studies in natural design. As if fabricated in Heaven’s
Art Studio, each shell is dramatic in color, design and texture. Folk
designs of the fishing lures counter the more geometric shells. Animated,
the lures are functional and can be quite funny.The contrast is revealing. |
