Artist #1: Patrick Guddal—"Six Days In Israel"
"My visual creativity has always been driven by people and their individual ways of engaging with the world. However, in this series, my spirit of place took control and the result is the work you see here. With few opportunites like this in my life, it seemed as though the camera did all the work and I was merely along for the ride. What a ride."
Artist #2: Laurie Faulk—"Apart"
"I have a natural tendency to photograph people in an element of anonymity and subtlety. In 'Apart,' I intentionally only show parts of people and rarely a face, just segments of the whole situation. Because of this, for instance, the owners of those feet or stomachs or legs could pass by us every day and we'd never know. As a constant observer in my everyday world, I want to know everything; but as more of a curious watcher in my photography, I like the idea of not knowing – or not telling – the whole story.
"I'm compelled to photograph the beauty of an individual's uniqueness. Each subject in these photographs holds a place. All are a necessary part of the whole. Yet they're also each alone, in either their differentiation or circumstance. Anonymously – and, perhaps unknowingly – they are both a part of and apart from one another.
"All the pieces are digital photographs, processed in Photoshop, and printed on either canvas gallery wraps or photo paper with styrene or matboard. Two pieces, 'October' and 'Face,' are composites of two or more images."
