Verlesen Photographic Studies

A continuing photographic study of mirrored architectural elements and forms. These images are recent digital photographic composites recombined into fantasy forms that exist only in an imaginary world. The controls for this curent study remain simple; only one cut. The studies began in 1983 using a traditional camera, printing, hand cutting and hand compositing. The first investigations were exhibited at the Rockford Art Museum in 1984. Throughout the last 36 years images have been collected and forms created. With the advent of digital photography the series continues to grow.
