Thoughts behind

Choosing Helena Chapellín Wilson was more of a draw towards her images at first and then the understanding of how she came to them. Rhythm of time and trying to capture dreams and the passage of time really stuck out to me. So in my response to her work I tried to encompass this idea. While I do not have the ability to use a nineteenth-century process of gum bichromate printing for an overall aesthetic I tried to used color, light and speed to capture a rhythm or passage of time referencing my own life.

For more than twenty years, Helena Chapellín Wilson has created a body of images with figure, object, and spatial relationships that arrest moments from the rhythm of reality. Utilizing the nineteenth-century process of gum bichromate printing, Wilson shapes compositions based on nature, dreams, and the passage of time.
