A Photographic Translation: Unearthing A New Spiritual
Language
By Kelsey A. Krzyston
A Photographic Translation: Unearthing A New Spiritual Language is
an academically
focused and conversationally written document that expresses my
research on spirituality,
historic photographic techniques, eastern religious practices, and
artwork by two groundbreaking
artists. I begin with a brief discussion of my own personal
spirituality, the way that it has
influenced my artwork, and how I intend to investigate my ideas
about the interconnectedness of
our world through a combination of spirituality and abstracted
photography. I segue into
individual discussions on the major themes of this work: Japanese
Zen Buddhism, the camera
lucida, and two influential artists: Matthew Ritchie and Pablo
Picasso. The paper concludes
with an integrated section about the impact of each of my interests
as well as the ins and outs of
the installation process and how I aspire to continue to create art
as a spiritual practice for the
rest of my life.
