Paul Snell

"Decoding New York examines the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism in photo-media. This body of work investigates the transformation of photographic modes of production and the manipulation and exploitation of data to invent new visual forms. New York is embedded within the surface tension of each picture plane, is it image or object; is it surface or depth! Snell's aim is to create a phenomenological experience of each location that potentially overwhelms or transcends its physicality."--Exhibition page on Edmund Pearce web site, viewed Sept. 18, 2013.
