Everywhere, Texas is a photographic survey of commonalities through abstract environmental landscapes. Photographed as reality based dreamlike states, these images often trigger emotions of social awareness and the chaotic nature of being. Stream of consciousness images, often accidental, are solitary reminders of histories and stories untold that live only in the viewer’s imagination. As a paradigm of despair and cynicism, they also evoke a sense of diluted tradition that can often be found in any location, or what I call Everywhere, TX.

Traveling through the United States and abroad from 2004 – 2010 I’ve captured a sense of life as it exists frozen in time. From the desperate suburbs of Anchorage to the hopeful expressions in alleyways of Seattle, the disparate become recognizable. Through billboards and flyers in Philadelphia to the literal writing on the wall of “viral love” in New York City, this simplicity is effective proof of life. These still life images are a testament to life’s residuals and how we are affected by the mysteries left behind. Through each state I’m reminded how diverse Texas is from wilderness to cityscape. I’ve witnessed how the ordinary becomes less ordinary once it’s taken out of its familiar environment.

Eric Fortune

Unknown Artist — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 14:39:23 +0000

Eric Fortune is an artist based out of Columbus, Ohio. Lyrical, haunting, yet poignant at the same time, Eric Fortune’s paintings make lasting impressions. These are characters who are neither out of place in the world, nor at home in it — they are characters wrapped in their own worlds. The emotionally complex metaphors Fortune paints are richly evocative. His imagery is quiet yet dynamic, and seasoned with a touch of surrealism that takes us to captivating places, beyond our everyday experience but filled with truth.

Erin Mulvehill

Unknown Artist — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:37:22 +0000

Erin Mulvehill is currently living in New York city (Brooklyn).
“My work aims to explore the human connections and subtle nuances that whisper into the ear of our every day. Much of my work is rooted in the ideas of mind, body, seamlessness and time. This is largely because my deepest beliefs lie in the principles of buddhism, the integration of art and life, and the preservation of beautiful moments. I am nomadic by nature and am inspired each day by the nothingness that resides in all things.”

Glass Ceiling

Unknown Artist — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:11:41 +0000

Jill Greenberg’s latest work isn’t as controversial as her last snaps of crying babies or a bloody Senator John McCain, but it sure is beautiful. The photographer’s latest series Glass Ceiling is yet another example of her undeniable talents in digital surrealism and colour manipulation.

What ensues is a glorious lesson in the colourful, the soft, and the dreamlike, as well as every angelic colour under the sun. It’s also a lesson in holding your breath and flapping your arms around (Michael Hutchence not included). The series captures the world’s most oestrogen-heavy sport: synchronised swimming. Yep, chuck on your bathing caps, we’re going for a dip… in stilettos. And you thought that was just for ladies of good-breeding!
