Evolution of Art: Reinventing Reality by Matthew Parker

Matthew Parker is a native Washingtonian.  His Photographic Collages embody movement of time, experience, memory and spatial relationships as variables captured in the scene.  Matthew begins each collage with a sketch, “the idea.”  Then he rotates the camera to achieve different angles and layers each photo with an observance of a place during different times of the day or year to create a dynamic scene.  When you see a change in tone  from one photo to the other, it’s the result of a different time Matthew was at the location.  According to Matthew, “these multiple layers of variables engage the viewer’s eyes and body allowing you to experience the poetics of space. “
