Piece description from the artist
I love making these images because they have the maximum amount of color packed into every pixel, and the full spectrum of colors the prism adds to the images speaks to the breathtaking colors that are so abundant in nature, like in rainbows and sunsets. It reemphasizes and compliments the beauty and life in the natural world. It's also an experience of wonder and discovery. I can never really anticipate what I'm going to see in the viewfinder. One of the prismatic arrays I use to create my photographs produces pronounced reflections or "ghost images" which are especially prominent in this image of African Daisies—it's almost like being able to peer through the veil into a different universe where they are a different color.
Brandon Woods (b. 1987, Knoxville, TN, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist who creates his work at the intersection of art, craft, science, and math. His research-based process has led him to create dynamic abstract paintings on innovative, dimensional shaped panels and to creating prismatic photographs bursting with color. Woods earned his MFA in Painting from SCAD in 2015 and his BFA in Studio Art (Painting and Sculpture) from Middle Tennessee State University in 2010. He has received numerous awards and grants for his work, including most recently an American Rescue Plan grant through the combined support of the Arts & Culture Alliance of Knoxville, the City of Knoxville, and the Federal Department of the Treasury to construct a large-scale work based on the James Webb Space Telescope that is now on permanent display in the Emporium in downtown Knoxville. His work has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and internationally: in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Hong Kong, Canada, and France. He currently lives and works in Knoxville, TN.
