Siemon Allen, the South AFrican artist living in the USA walks out of the

inner ring of his installation of record labels into the gallery space on which

walls and floors the square format of the labels reflect in a dazzling display

of light and shadow. Artwork/Galleryspace and Artist perfectly merged or

entangled ....

Hi Bettie,

Interesting image. My association is of movement from solidity/color into transparancy/light. Simon seems to dissolve as he enters this space. To be honest, I think I prefer the "Clair" and the other "Simon Allen" images from thiks folder because the backgrounds are less washed out.

This image gave me a wonderful entry point to your portfolio and wider work. Very impressive! Thanks for sharing here at photo.net

Bettie, Great capture, and the presentation is very dynamic. The splash of colour adds to the mainly monocromatic feel. Great shot
