I find the artist's montages disturbing. Beautiful, but disturbing. Two examples: Precatio http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/SBrooksB/Precatio.jpg Lake of Ghosts http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/SBrooksB/LakeofGhosts.jpg To some degree, all images are Rorschach tests. Compare my reaction to "Precatio" ("World without life....in all directions, the void") to that of an upbeat friend ("I love winter nights! This makes me think of Christmas Eve in a little European town!"). :) To see more: http://www.dreamhours.com/ (Note: I have better luck browsing the site with IE than with Firefox. Once in the picture gallery, run your mouse along the upper right or left edge of the photo for "Next" and "Previous.") Can’t remember how I found dreamhours.com.
