Gerrit van Ommering – Radiant Entanglement

Description

Artist Statement

My photography preference is to make seriously manipulated, constructed, strange and abstract images of just about anything, but I do a lot of representational and lightly enhanced work as well; see my website focusedeclecticism.com. I look for interesting objects, shapes, patterns, juxtapositions, and object arrangements that other photographers may pass by, and I especially focus on things that I can manipulate into unique interesting, radically modified images.
In my works for Perfect Chaos, I transformed my photographs of common subjects into intriguing imagery that entices viewers to linger and understand. But each of these required an experimental accident or spark for me to realize that it had some ultimate potential. To me, that is one of the fun aspects of doing photography and digital transformations, when I wind up surprising even myself.
