Additions to the MEG family

Multiple Exposures Gallery is pleased to announce the additions of new member Eric Johnson and new associate member Sandy LeBrun-Evans to our gallery:

Washington, D.C.-based photographer Eric T. Johnson has had a long interest in photography, starting with documentary work for student publications in high school, through which he developed skills in shooting and processing traditional black and white photographs. While his academic background and career are based in the sciences, photography has continued to provide him with an outlet for his creative interests, and his affinity for black and white photography has endured through his recent transition to digital imaging.

Eric T. Johnson

Sandy LeBrun-Evans is a fine art photographer who began her photography journey in 1990 with the study of black/white and infrared films. She has since explored digital and alternative processes, including encaustic medium, when presenting her work.

She misses the hands-on nature of the wet darkroom and seeks out digital and alternative techniques that allow her to more actively participate in the art making process. Currently Sandy is creating a series of images using a variety if substrates.

Canadian by Michael Borek from Half Awake

I took these photographs with my eyes closed. By that, I don't mean that I lowered my lids over my pupils to prevent light form transmitting the images to me. Rather, these photographs were taken through an imaginary filter that reveals what is there to be seen in addition to - or in spite of - the bare images themselves.

Although I took these pictures mostly during the day, they contain nocturnal elements that suggest the sensation of simultaneously being awake and asleep. They document my encounters with scenes that felt intense, sometimes even and strange, yet also oddly familiar. Perhaps they capture dreams that I have yet to experience. Or maybe they seen familiar because I have dreamed of them before. I am not entirely sure about the meaning of these pictures; my subconscious may be trying to get the upper hand.
