EMBRACING DISTORTION
Nancy Edelstein
These images are a continuation of my ongoing engagement with light and its many properties. By focusing on reflective and textured mylar surfaces, I unearth abstractions and aberrations of common objects. Photography comes with inherent ties to the ‘real world’, as well as the capacity to reshape that world. My photographic process records the ‘unreal’ qualities of reflected, refracted, and bent light. Through the optical complexities of the lens, I capture visable distortions outside of ordinary perception, revealing contours and spectacles that invite looking, seeing and imagination.
No manipulation or AI has been used in the making of these images.
