I’ve been captivated by the notion of crossing mediums ever since stumbling upon on the work of Barbara Cole.

Her Toronto Series (1998) and Iris Prints (1996) captivated me.

What came of this was a ferocious drive to capture through the lens that which can’t be observed, only seen. (through the Mind’s Eye, as Ansel Adams would say.).

The experiments below are a few samples of this personal venture that I’d like to share.

‘The secret means nothing; the trick you use it for is everything.’

here are the secrets regardless.
