Covering an eclectic mix of art forms and news about Tom Suhler
Here are a few photographs from last week’s work. We started by exploring characters in separate dimensions with a central figure able to impact their surrounding environments. Alternatively, they represent the central character’s struggle with balancing conflicting ideals and emotions. Later we moved into exploring how two characters locked in separate dimensions could engage one another.
All images were created on set, no digital manipulation required.
Here are a few photographs from Tuesday’s work. You can think about these narratives in many ways. One way is to see them as all parts of one person’s conscious and unconscious mind. The characters in them representing either archetypes or emotions ranging from desire to self-doubt.
The nature of consciousness has always been one of my muses. I remember as kid no older than 7 or 8 using a mirror to look into the pupils of my eyes and wondering if I could see myself. My curiosity surrounding that muse has a lot to do with creating and exploring these fractured worlds for the last few months.

Here a few photographs from Wednesday’s work. We are experimenting with new ways of fracturing things in the last two. The first ones were in search of a story that I believe I figured out after thinking about them for a couple of days. A few more days of experimenting in the studio and then we’ll see if we can pull it off next week.
First Looks are my initial reactions. It usually takes days or weeks before I’m comfortable deciding if something makes the cut. Editing, selecting which pieces make it and which ones don’t, is one of the most difficult parts of the process. The images you see here are either ones that might be finished or inspire ideas worth pursuing.

Here a few photographs from Tuesday’s work. We began by exploring a dancer’s dreamscapes and finished in a fractured multidimensional landscape. Created on set, no digital manipulation required.
