Anomalous: the imperfections, the irregularities, the moments when a thing exceeds its category — have served across cultures and centuries as the primary locus of spiritual encounter. They are the thin places. And the significance of finding soul in them is not merely superstition. It is one of humanity’s oldest and most persistent modes of meaning-making.

Geoffrey Brune

Geoffrey Brune is exploring a way of combining incongruent imagery as found in both divergent places and objects photographed in the studio. Here a conversation with each subject expresses an emotional relationship understood, found, or implied within the imagery. Place and time sets the context in which the spirit of each is revealed. He is most interested in the anomalies that occur in the natural world, consequences of human activity, and/or mysteries with unknown sources.

John Perretti

Perretti writes: "Imagery is controlled by one’s will to craft creating meaning by understanding all that has occurred in art prior. I reveal an alchemic operation that I conduct from the crucible of my unconscious, the dream imagery. My work is a talisman of visual power that may operate outside the bounds of traditional craft interpretation. This expressionism in both painting and sculpture is made to act upon the viewer, much like a spell or a haunting."

My craft is and has always been an aesthetic encounter with the sublime, stuck somewhere between a solid and a liquid, this to push the limits of understanding. An act of creation (as no other) has been inherently rebellious within unique mediums within the spectral character within visual vehicles confronting the mysteries of reality."
