Calder

Calder explores the subtle transformation of objects and their surroundings over time. As the sun passes overhead, shadows creep over the surface of the earth, altering our perception of reality. Wooden slats form a tunnel of shadows. A patch of sunlight distorts architectural patterns. Rooting his images in time, Calder balances the inanimate with the power and grace of the natural world. As a self-taught photographer, Calder often rejects photographic norms, focusing on profound moments of beauty that often go unnoticed. Flesh tones, on the other hand, refer to the different nuances within the actual color. Within the black, brown, red, yellow or white skin color, there are several subtle combinations, or nuances, that are known as flesh tones. Like the yin and yang philosophy, many colors come together to make one color, and in one color exists many different colors. For example, from a distance we see White complexion, Black complexion, Brown complexion or Red complexion. When we look closer, we start to notice the blues, pinks, yellows, purples and all the subtle nuances ranging from muted to intense mixtures, warm and cool tones. It’s just like looking at a computer image. If you reduce or scale down a picture to a smaller size, the picture will get as fine and detailed as possible. But enlarge it and you will see big squares of pixels.
