A Brief Tenderness Among the Shadows
Bill Wolak
Artist’s Statement
Everywhere we look there are faces staring back at us. Out of the corner of the eye, we spy a wink from a passing shadow or a smile in a gleam of water. We project our selves outward into the field we experience. Photography sets out to record these fleeting impressions. My photographs are usually photo collages or, if not, they in some way attempt to represent the figure, usually naked, using an unusual or unexpected approach.
