Description
"NOCTURNES - The Art of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law" March 8-28 at Krab Jab Studio in Seattle WA.Info for the opening reception: www.facebook.com/events/146076β¦
The opening will be on March 8th from 6-9PM, at which I'll be in attendance, possibly giving a lecture for some portion. "There is an optical phenomenon known as 'the green flash' that occurs in the instant when the upper edge of the sun's disk touches the horizon at dawn and dusk. This moment encapsulated in an emerald ray of light demarcates day and night. It's an instant of Between, of transition and change, when perception is in flux. NOCTURNES is an exploration of this parting of the veil. It is an expansion of that fleeing singularity into an eternally suspended not-day, not-night. Like a crystalline musical note hovering in the air, sustained /fermata/. NOCTURNES is a journey through gold-hollowed forests, enchanted pools, strange birds and seductively mythic denizens."

Β I think the work looks beautiful. Β I wonder if Fitzgerald was thinking about the "green flash" while writing about the pier in the Great Gatsby. Β Its a very surreal notion. Β

What model?Β I use an Epson V500 for negatives and documents, but it would be too small to handle your work.
