Themes+Projects is excited to exhibit, “To the Edge” by Tom Chambers. The exhibition contains twenty new photographs from two series, Animal Visions and To the Edge.
Known for his use of photomontage, Tom Chambers presents unspoken stories which illustrate fleeting moments in time and which are intended to evoke a mood in the viewer. These mythical illustrations might address the fragility of childhood or the delicate transition experienced by a child passing into adolescence and then adulthood. Others express the tension in the uncertain coexistence between man and his environment, a delicate balance too often ignored and damaged. Each photomontage is carefully constructed, using both images that have been planned and those that unexpectedly enhance the story. With digital photography, Tom desires to move beyond documentation of the present, and rather seek to merge reality and dreams in musing about possibilities of the future.
