Daniel Kukla
"In March of 2012 I lived in a cabin for a month
within southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. While staying in the
Park, I spent much of my time visiting the borderlands of the park and the
areas where the low Sonoran desert meets the high Mojave desert. While hiking
and driving, I caught glimpses of the border space created by the meeting of
distinct ecosystems in juxtaposition, referred to as the Edge Effect in the
ecological sciences. To document this unique confluence of terrains, I hiked out
a large mirror and painter’s easel into the wilderness and captured opposing
elements within the environment. Using a single visual plane, this series of
images unifies the play of temporal phenomena, contrasts of colour and texture,
and natural interactions of the environment itself. “ Daniel cleverly places a mirror in surreal places and takes a picture amougst the backdrop to create amazing pieces of art work. I will take parts of the technique daniel has used to create images of my own.
