Paula Kelly: I come alive at twilight, it’s a time of transformation. I love capturing images in the night. Identifying with the ambiguity of natural and unnatural light- I enjoy how space flattens, colors emerge and the obvious disappears, allowing subtleties to pop. Observing the night sky offers a sense of unity. I think of rootedness vs. transitory while in nature. The world becomes abstract, context unimportant. As light gathers in time and space- the image emerges. I anticipate how the scene will transform over time. Exposures range from minutes to hours. This is meditative process, offering time for reflection, respite. Sometimes, it’s very intense, as I actively pull an image out of the darkness by providing additional lighting. There’s much planning, yet I remain spontaneous and attuned to what may happen in the moment. BFA, SUNY Purchase- educated + inspired. Photos exhibited in NYC, Eastern LI, CA + CT. A graphic designer, by day. ......................................... http://www.nite-lite-site.com
