Selene - Limited Edition of 15 Photograph

Lisa Folino born 1958, Northridge California,United States. I have spent most of life as an artist and a musician. Photography was introduced to me at an early age by my father. I live and work as a fine art photographer in Newport Beach, California.Since the early 1990's I have been using Polaroid film/materials. Most of my photography involves experimentation and the alchemy of transformation. "Grace and Truth" is a series of images which took 7 years to transform through a chemical manipulation of the film. Like a fossil or a fresco, time has played an important role in the expression of this work. "Shadows and Light" explores the way in which we perceive reality through the still life. It is also a journey into our dreams.The portfolio "Prima Materia" is a complete degradation of the image. This reveals an abstract realty which exists below the surface of the photographic image."
