Adagio

How do we find our way through dark times? One of life’s great surprises is how, even when the heart has been broken open from grief, we can still find moments of light and joy. For me, a moment of sadness may be transformed into one of profound delight when I stop and immerse myself in the sound of the wind in the trees, the curve of a blade of grass, light shimmering on the ocean, or simply the sensations of breath itself. In the Adagio series, as petals float and dance through time, I celebrate these moments of joy-filled connection that have been so uplifting during difficult times.

 

Southworks 2015

The above image from my new Unleaving series (see more) has been included in the Southworks 2015 exhibition in GA.

Southworks 2015
Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation
Watkinsville, GA
April 10-May 8, 2015
Reception: April 10 (6-9 PM)

In the waning days of autumn, after the parting burst of colour, I explored tidal pools and puddles where leaves had fallen. There I expected to see fading and decay, but instead I often found subtle beauty, intensified by the twilight and encroaching darkness. For me these images conjure up wisps of memories of my mother and her decline through Alzheimer's where there too, as I watched the fading away, the softening of lines, the dissolution of realities, I caught glimpses of her inner beauty shining in the darkness.


 

Uncharted Constellations in Cambridge, MA

Uncharted Constellations #9, from a new series (see more), was recently selected for inclusion in an exhibit in Cambridge, MA.

University Place Gallery
Cambridge, MA
12 March-17 April, 2015
Opening: 12 March (6-8PM)

"Uncharted Constellations" is a meditation on the mystery of the night sky, but with stars that have never been seen before; stars that have been charted only in my imagination. These are dreams of star-filled landscapes, gathered from memories of my travels around the world, re-imagined in the mid-winter snows of northern Maine. Some evoke memories of the desert hills outside Tucson; others the foothills of Nepal or of gazing deep into a clear night sky from a village in the Philippines. These uncharted constellations recall the fluidity of time, space, and memory and the endless wonder of the stars.

International Photography Awards

Flow #1

Flow #1

I received two honorable mention awards from the 2013 International Photography Awards competition. Both are awards in the Fine Art: Abstract category. One award is for Flow #1 and the other is for the Flow series, of which Flow #1  is part.  

It's always heartening to receive a nod from prominent photography professionals (the jurors) for a body of work that is especially meaningful -- both visually and emotionally -- to me.

New Work on Display at The Barrett Art Center

Flow #4 

Flow #4 

This winter I started working on a new series called "Flow", in which I explore the dramatic transitions of colour and form that occur moment to moment in a small area of a fast-flowing tidal stream. I am excited to report that two images from this series were selected to be included in a mixed media show at the Barrett Art Center later this month. 

This series is not yet on my website. If anyone is interested in seeing more, please send me an email (jyudelman@earthlink.net) and I will send along a few additional images.
