I'm wondering, if they were posted here, if they would receive the same reaction? Or is it the fact that they are $1900 each - that the artist has assigned value? It's a kind of non-representational photography and while it may not be taken in the T with looks of longing eyes it deserves better than what has been dished out here. ANY work can be ridiculed for whatever reason. The reality is that we're not looking at these prints as they were meant to be seen - on a wall presented in some fashion suitable to the artist's view. I found the source of the image titles to change their meaning for me. It's the point I was making about recontextualization in an earlier essay. I think I'd like to see these presented as intended. But as a grouping I find them credible and interesting - giving a different path for exploration. Adam Bridge
