Plato's Cave
Created by shining light through 3D geometric forms of varying translucency & color, and photographing 2D play of light & shadow on a black matte board. The painterly effect is NOT noise, but is due to the specular and diffuse reflections of light off the matte board's imperfectly speckled surface.
About Artist
Andrew Ilachinski
I am, by training and profession, a physicist, specializing in nonlinear dynamics and complex adaptive systems (with a PhD in theoretical physics). However, by temperament and inner muse, I am a photographer, and have been one for far longer than my PhD gives me any right to claim an ownership by physics. Photography became a life-long pursuit for me the instant my parents gave me a Polaroid camera for my 10th birthday. I have been studying the mysterious relationship between inner experiences and outer realities ever since.
