Natural Abstracts
By John Greiner-Ferris
Photo book
Book Preview
Natural Abstracts is my first book of photographs that I made in response to the Trump years and during the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Oddly, while I was making these images I had no idea that that was what I was doing. Most times, artists are just reacting. It's the dealers and art writers who need an explanation of what an artist is doing, so usually the artist just makes it up as they go along, then back fill the explanation in hindsight. File that under #thetruthaboutart

Tango Bango

9/5/2022

Life ain't nothin' but a bowlful of Tango Bango.

Details from a work-in-progress. Self-portraits. Still questioning, What is/constitutes a photograph? What is a photograph's role in a piece of artwork? (And also, text's role, too?) What is a portrait and its role? What is pretty/acceptable? What does a self-portrait convey? What is Tango Bango?

The Business Meeting; Mixed Media: Acrylic paint, original images on transparencies, text, photographic paper on boards; 16" x 24"; 2022
So seductively time seeps
out through your veins
pooling around your wingtips
            Or you, Ms. Corporate I'm Going Places
            be careful of your patent-leather pumps
            step carefully around the sticky puddles
            collecting beneath the conference table
            do not soil your white stockings.
Your smile will soon turn to a grimace
            as lost opportunity twists your heart
            like an old rag, unknowingly you’ll strangle
            as the intoxicating sound of your own voice
            replaces the importance of your life
            with the irrelevance of your action items.

Fuzzies (From Under The Bed)

Images made with a USB microscope from a dustball found under the bed. I was so surprised and delighted by the colors, and the intricacies of the patterns made by the strands.
