DENNIS CONNORS

Artist Statement

After a long career in commercial photography, with fine art always in the running, I’m now making photographs for the reason I planned on in the first place – to just make art. A long-time interest in photomontage goes back to early experiments and happy accidents in the darkroom and with in-camera double exposures. I often consider individual photographs as a point of departure, fodder for blending nature, artifacts, or people with other images. In a addition to a more recent interest in landscape photography, I’m combing through the analog archives, scanning films, often joining the past with the present, and making prints. I’m enjoying this new box of crayons.
