Zone plate images are the result of diffraction instead of refraction. The glow that appears in the highlights and the blurring of the edges, infusing the forms with a glint of the numinous, fascinate me. I love the elusive and haunting quality of these images and the dark beauty they convey visually.
Jane,
I worked all my life in advertising (in Brazil). Due to my work I saw thousands of photos. Seldon I saw an artist that was true to herself as you are. I see roots and secret gardens and God things coughed out in every one of them. I remembered the artist Paul Klee, perhaps in the titles, perhaps in your solitude. Congratulations indeed... And don´t stop... Soon I´ll send you my literature "art e-mail", named Littera Tour... I hope the best for you, your poetry (extreme as your photos) and all... (Beto)
