The images offer no answers, no easy resolutions, no concrete data. Each piece seems linked primarily by the appearance that each began as an actual encounter or encounters inside the artist's physical world. <br /> <br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/63361458@N00/136654056/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/55/190962383_f118cd8332.jpg" width="500" height="336" alt="136654056_8585fa2b51_o" /></a> <br /><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/63361458@N00/136654056/">untitled</a> <br />Edmund Leveckis, New York City, usa, -a.k.a. <a href="http://flickr.com/people/63361458@N00/"> edmo</a> <br /> <br />It is most likely, that I was particularly drawn to these images because of the internal contradictions, and pluralities eluded to, that seem to flaunt their existence inside these works. Perhaps these characteristics do not exist. Or it was not the Artists intentions to begin with. Perhaps it is simply my own internal psyche of conflict,and contradictions that led me to these choices. I do know that none of these images will sit by idly, and graciously hand over concrete evidence, or reassuring answers, easily. <br /> <br />We (the viewer) are confronted with dichotomies, and possibilities that go straight inside the artists mind, and then reverberate back to our own. <br />Individually each piece seems to radiate a very &quot;self-conscious vibe&quot; as if they were two-dimensional organisms with an &quot;unexplained soul.&quot; <br />As a group, a wider exploration is possible, allowing the images, to play-off each other, and giving the viewer a chance to perform their own improvisational mind game. (Even though we do it all the time.) <br />Consider these images as &quot;vehicles for further possibilities&quot; <br />We are visiting them. <br /> <br />I am almost conviced that ... <br /> <br />Reality <br />is a <br />noun. <br /> <br />Stephen R.
