No, these are not the works of a gifted painter, rather that of a talented photogragher, Daniel Kukla. Kukla spent some time in Southern California's Joshua Tree National Park. Most of his time was spent visiting the borderlands of the park and the areas where the low Sonoran desert meets the high Mojave desert. Kukla found a lot of interest in the border spaces created by the meeting of distinct ecosystems. To capture this, Kukla hiked around with a large mirror and a painter's easel and positioned the mirror and his lens to catch the opposing elements within the environment. Using a single visual plane, this series, titled 'Edge Effect', unifies the play of temporal phenomena, contrasts of colour and texture, and natural interactions of the environment itself. Kukla's work is a great reminder that beauty is all around us, sometimes you just need to look in the right direction.... or perhaps carry a mirror along with you!
We hope you all have a fabulous long weekend!
