The battle for coexistence — the one of opposites constantly that are the same in so many ways. Looking back at my work I see men and women, ladies and gentlemen. Some are alone, some together, some in crowds, sometimes looking to each other, sometimes looking away. Some are bigger, some small, but they all dance the same dance while in my mind, actually trying to exist. In my paintings, there is no concept of time. All of the objects share the same space. The past and the future are together.' - Alon Aboutboul
'In these moments of intersection, colliding between order and chaos, truth and lies, fantasy and reality, I see transformation. In the abstract and literal, I hope for a better state of mind and a better world.'
My work centers on my passion for exploring consciousness in nature through photography, architecture, and movement. The images show the movement of water in real time as it reacts to different stimuli both physical and metaphysical. It is an overwhelming feeling when you realize that you are looking at water’s blueprint for life.
"I took these photographs without a clear sense of where they might end up. A re-issue of the Joshua Tree album 30 years hence was certainly not part of my thinking. I guess I took them because I felt that this experience and this landscape and this moment in time ought to be remembered, and possibly at some point shared."
THE EDGE
I don't know what it is exactly that I find so fascinating, amusing, romantic, nostalgic about the countless variations of intersection between the western sky and the miles and miles of utility lines that across my view. It's something about the towering palms and the raw hewn poles standing as kin, the knotted junctions of wire and hardware impossibly entwined, and moments of meeting- buildings, branch and frond. This is the interconnected airborne architecture of the Los Angeles skyline. It is impossible to escape and I find it endlessly inspiring. - Morleigh Steinberg
