 Photography is the means by which I locate myself in the world.

My work has been a continual process of visual investigation, working to manipulate and maneuver  “camera vision”. An ever-present phenomenological element is of primary importance; recent landscapes interrogate the  codes of linear perspective that are so integral to photographic interpretation. Ultimately, my images function by  alternating private and public strata, simultaneously combining layers of cultural reflections and personal  insights. The circuitous path of inquiry often leads  not to resolution, but to further questions; it is what makes the journey both challenging and fulfilling. - Al Wildey

Mr. Wildey's photograph, "Midland" has recently been acquired by the Grand Rapids Art Museum as part of the permanent collection (pictured on the invitation) and has recently exhibited at London's Cielo gallery and NY Arts MAgazine Beijing Collection, Beijing China.
