Currently in the Gallery below: Javascapes & Javascapes Redux

In a simple, everyday and even mundane act, life erupts from the firmament; the subatomic, microscopic, and cosmic beginnings of the universe and the history of the world are revealed in the abstractions of the flow and dispersion of cream into coffee.

Javascapes began life from a serendipitous observation by artist/photographer d. g. walczyk as he poured cream into his pint glass of iced coffee in the summer of 2011. What he saw as the cream was poured and before stirring to thoroughly blend was a variable speed dispersion of the heavier liquid in the darkness of the caffeinated unknown; the formation of a new world in the cold “molten” admixture of South Pacific Blend and 1/2 & 1/2.

After a few hasty iPhone photographs and the subsequent download to the computer for a more detailed examination of this Big Bang, a new creative obsession emerged. These new world formations had to be nurtured and captured with a macro lens in greater resolution. The photographer set about planning the shoot in the shade of the patio over the course of several
sweltering summer days.

Javascapes Redux is a highly “caffeinated” re-examination of Javascapes macros utilizing a double-exposure and blending technique discovered through experimentation. The images range in “style” from mandalic to totemic to abstract to otherworldly. Let your mind’s eye wander and your imagination dance.
