Photographs at Coloplast Headquarters - Winter 2010

Illness and Healing: Photographs of Ice on the Mississippi River

Today I hung a few photographs from my Illness and Healing series of ice photos on the Mississippi River. Coloplast headquarters are just a mile or so south of where these photographs were taken, which is kind of cool that the photographs get to have this temporary home overlooking their permanent home on the river.

To see other images from this series, check out this gallery.

I'm a big fan of Coloplast, though I do not use any of their ostomy and wound-care products. They commissioned only local artists to add to their permanent art collection for the building. You can see me gush about them here. They also have rotating exhibits in the multiple public spaces in their building. What a great opportunity for all of us local artists!

Crab Apple Behind Glass - Diptych

(with glass effect and without)

Still struggling with the use of Photoshop filter for making images. I never have trouble adjusting contrast, a bit of dodgin and burnin, and even increasing saturation, but preselected filters? Not so sure. I like how this looks, though. Click on the image and enlarge. See what you think.
