Saylor - Paintings: A Collection of Photographic Images

First Friday reception: February 6, 2004, 5-7pm
The images in this exhibition reveal subtle yet poignant fragments
of my environment. As I look through the viewfinder of my camera and
scan my contact sheets, I am repelled by recognizable imagery and
drawn to patches of light and color, faint distinctions of detail,
and barely recognizable shapes and forms. Although I am a photographer,
a longing for the medium of paint has always been present; and, through
this body of work, my need to distort, translate, enhance and blur
reality, as a painter would, emerges.

My work reflects my strong desire to learn from nature and create
a better world around me. I often use a charcoal rubbing technique
that produces prints on traditional Japanese washi paper and apply
them to various objects to produce different concepts of layers and
space in the natural world. Most importantly, I believe that what
is transferred from object to paper is more than just physical markings.
Rather, it is the very "soul" of the natural object. The
result is a powerful medium to reveal our sacred relationship with
the physical world and inspire others to live in harmony with nature.
