Artist's Statement
Go Figure is an exploration
of geometry and form. These images are the result of an ongoing
project to create geometrically compelling compositions using classic
fine art nude photography as a basis. The images are meant to
entice you and intrigue you on an aesthetic level. A glance from
a distance reveals something different than an up-close study.
If you read into the images themes of sexuality or social commentary
you will find those themes reflect the viewer and not the artist.
Bio
At age
8, Daryl began exploring the art of photography with a Kodak Instamatic
camera and later, a 35mm SLR, but was limited in his new hobby by the
expense involved in purchasing film. Daryl grew up to earn an
engineering degree but continued to foster a love of photography. In
2002, he acquired a digital camera and reveled in the film-free
environment, discovering the nuances of lighting, composition, and form
through experimentation and detailed analysis. He further honed his
skills by seeking feedback from fellow photographers and printmakers,
and by fitting in courses and workshops wherever possible. Daryl
believes that to excel at anything requires a healthy dose of
creativity and persistance, things that he has always cultivated
in his own approach to life.
Prints
Prints of Daryl's work are produced with archival
pigment on paper and are available in a variety of sizes.
