Details: A photographic exploration of time, space, and meaning emerges through the juxtaposition of symbolic, image elements. The works featured in this exhibition consist of three dimensionally layered, collage constructions, juxtaposing elements that feel they belong together. This exhibition is titled “Logic of the Subconscious”, because a personally symbolic pattern emerged through the elements, placement, and combinations chosen without preplanning. Steve describes his creative process as “Rather than leading with conscious preconceptions in the beginning, I tend to follow clues in real world exploration. When I encounter something that resonates meaningfully with my core, an immediate progression of unforced feelings and thoughts follow. Flowing with the current or “listening” rather than “talking”, I allow myself to drift away from conscious deliberation or internal dialogue so that the empirical and intuitive can be my guides when making images . Once enough finished examples reveal related content and form, conscious decisions are integrated as I develop further the series, maintaining as much of the original spontaneity and openness as possible.”
