Reciprocity

reciprocity: (n) a relation of mutual dependence or action or influence.

Works of Brian Moss and Sandra de la Loza went on display a couple days ago in the art gallery. I went to the opening reception last night and I have to say, their photography was something eye-catching and unique.

There was one series from each artist that particularly impressed me.

De la Loza's Family Photo Series was really quite interesting.

The photos are portraits with the people in them cut out with a different background in place of them.

I've spent a bit of time trying to understand what she's trying to say. I can't think of anything other than they are unique and interesting photos.

Moss' Durmire (or Where am I when I'm asleep?) series, I thought was really neat.

It is a series of blurry photos with people lying in bed.

It put forth the theme really well and I was able to relate to it a little more (it's art, everyone can interpret it differently) because I wear glasses. I always see blurry when I go to sleep and when I wake up because I don't have my glasses on.

Moss doesn't wear glasses so that's obviously not what he's going for.

These two photo artists' work will be on display until Feb. 19.

Unfortunately, it appears there will not be an artist walkthrough, which I enjoy so much.
