ab·stract
art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.
does not depict a person, place or thing in the natural world -- even in an extremely distorted or exaggerated way.
We're looking for non-representational imagery, though it can be from found objects in nature, figurative works.
Our juror for the Abstract Image is Blue Mitchell, an independent publisher, curator, educator, and photographer. Based in Portland, Oregon, he has been involved with many facets of the photographic arts. Mitchell received his BFA from Oregon College of Art & Craft where he teaches studio school classes and workshops. Mitchell is the Founding Editor of Diffusion: Unconventional Photography, an independent, reader and contributor supported annual that highlights and celebrates unconventional photographic processes and photo related artwork. In addition to organizing and curating physical exhibitions around the country, Mitchell curates Plates to Pixels, an online photographic gallery that bridges the gap between antiquated photographic processes and new digital media. In his personal work he implements many photographic techniques including toy cameras, pinhole, alternative processes, mixed media, and hand drawing. Most recently Mitchell has been specializing in acrylic lifts — this process and some of his work was published in Photographic Possibilities, 3rd edition.
