In an aleatory manner: Ray K. Metzker



Where photography has been primarily a process of selection and extraction, I wish to investigate the possibilities of synthesis. I began thinking of the entire roll as one negative... What I am talking about is complexity. When you approach one of the large composites, you see it more as an abstract design, and when you come in closer, you see a wealth of everyday information. There is no particular point of entry or procedure to the seeing; it is a multiplicity of elements operating in an aleatory manner. 
[Quoted by the Laurence Miller Gallery]
