barry underwood

These photographs by Barry Underwood remind me of summer evenings spent watching fireflies.  But of course this is the fantasy fairytale version.

"I approach my photographic work with a theatrical sensibility that permits me to intermingle issues that arise from contemporary painting, cinema and land art.  The resulting images are surreal images, given that they result from this cross-pollination between traditional photography and theater."

So timely for me to reread his artist statement right now, since lately I've been thinking a lot about 'intermingling issues' and 'cross-pollination'.  Boundaries in art do us no good at all, so why do we get stuck with them so easily?
