The Luminous Lens: Photo Abstractions by PJ Trenton on Calameo

Saturday, April 17, 2010

I am pleased to announce the availability of the exhibit catalogue for my most recent show entitled the Luminous Lens: Photo Abstractions by PJ Trenton. The exhibit has completed its run at the Tricia Aferdita Gallery but is now on view at the Treet TV sim in front of the Designing Worlds Studio.

The catalogue, written by Miss Rowan Derryth with a foreword by Tricia Aferdita can now be viewed online at Calameo.

Simply go to http://en.calameo.com/books/000045496d4d9a0069359 in order to read the catalogue.

My sincere thanks once again to both Tricia and Rowan for making both the exhibition and this wonderful catalogue available. Thanks also to Miss Ceejay Writer for work on the catalogue and Miss Saffia Widdershins for her support and assistance in this endeavor.

Luminous Lens Exhibition Catalogue

Saturday, April 3, 2010

The works you see in this exhibit are the culmination of my passion for photography and desire to create and share my artistic vision with those around me. More importantly, my work would mean little without the support, encouragement and validation of the great people I am proud to call my friends. A very heartfelt thanks to one in particular, Tricia Aferdita, who not only encouraged me to finish this exhibit but provided an incredible venue in which to feature it. Tricia’s enthusiasm for and support of my work means so much. She is a tireless supporter and promoter of the arts and is an inspiration to those who are fortunate enough to know and work with her. She is also a fabulous artist in her own right.

This catalogue would certainly not have been possible without the enthusiasm, creativity, and eloquence of Rowan Derryth. Her appreciation of this collection of works and the excitement with which she talked of the need for an exhibition catalogue are why you read these words today. Through an extremely interesting experiment (see Ekphrasis: PJ Trenton on the Prim Perfect blog ~ http://primperfectblog.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/ekphrasis-pj-trenton/), these works now have a much deeper meaning and their own stories as a result of Rowan’s eloquent keystrokes.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank intrepid publisher extra-ordinaire, Saffia Widdershins for her support of this exhibit and catalogue and for exposing me to the artistic and photographic potential of the wide world of Second Life.

A complimentary copy of the exhibit catalogue is available from a kiosk at Exposure Art Gallery (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tabula%20rasa/134/35/27). Purchase the Thinc book for $0L and either wear it or rezz it to read (I recommend rezzing it).
