Background and Exhibitions
|
Welcome to Gun's world of images
From a distance
compositions in color and form
Up close they swarm of life
Not unlike satellite photos which
in enlargement
disclose the most varried life forms.
A penetrating report where even the
scenes most difficult to see are clearly visible
Comments on our search for spiritual values;
our difficulties in getting along, our weaknesses,
our nakedness
and fear
But also our joy, sense of humor
and madness
Our historical anchoring and puzzles
Our questions about that which is to come
Our place and roll in the universe
Daily life
