Echoes 7 (Open Edition)

from the series Echoes by Samuel Choisy, 2018

Artwork Statement

Echoes is an ongoing photographic series beginning in 2018. The process for this series involves creating minimalist color paper shapes, which the artist photographs while air currents slowly dance them around the artist and his camera, hand-held and set on long exposures. Like echoes of sonar fathoming the depth of an unknown yet somewhat familiar environment, the landscape-inspired forms created in these images with their different scale ratios, relay ideas of vastness, plains, cliffs, and summits.
