|
|
Mark Chaney is an organically grown Vermont photographer and digital artist. Tritography is a collage including more than one digital image rendering “unreal realities.” Gaze at each work long enough for the mind to relax and note the new spaces and places that appear in the depths of the image, much like an optical illusion. Tritography slows one’s mind, if even for a few brief moments, by doing a double take and realize the first impression may not be reality. |
