Enfolding Perspectives: Photographic Collage

by Simran Gleason

Photographic collages exploring the dissolution of 15th century linear perspective and the re-creation of more organic perspectives. After struggling with the limitations of linear perspective in "straight" photography, I saw some photocollage work by a student of David Hockney, and discovered that, as a medium, photocollage allows traditional perspective space to be dissolved and alternate spaces to be created.

I call this show "Enfolding Perspectives" bacause I am trying to create perspective spaces that wrap around the viewers, enfolding them into the picture. More explanations in the Artist's Statement for this show.

The Pictures:

Struggling with the limits: (coming soon...)

of still photography: Successes & failures.

The Early Work:

My discovery of the medium, and the struggles I went through to establish the perspective transformation techniques I use to create more organic pictorial spaces.

The Perspectives of being there:

Breaking the limits of linear perspective, and reconstructions of spaces that allow the viewer to feel part of the picture.

Sacred Spaces.

Places I like to go to meditate, train the spirit...
