Digital/Alchemical Tapping
The art of Illumination Gallery is the art of transformation. Alchemy
fascinates me. Without at least the possibility of alchemical processes
being real, art would have no meaning for me. I transform preexistent
images in order to discover their magical properties.
The root image for the animation running above is a photograph of
Natasha Arielle, Mistress of the Junkyard, whom I met on MySpace.
Natasha was curious if I 'were at all interested in working with goth/fetish models for various photographic
projects?" I am not a photographer, but a digital artist. Thus the
question is "can digital art alchemically tap into the raw emotional
heart of a goth/fetishist sensibility?"
