"As an artist, I have two opposing processes: one mechanical, capturing light, and the other intuitive, a casual manipulation of color. My color work is the opposite of my photographic studies. If photography is defined as the art or process of producing images through the action of radiant energy, then my paintings are an unconscious response to my surroundings and spiritual connection to the natural world. While both techniques reveal my connection to nature, the end results are very different. Where my photography illustrates, my paintings express. In essence, they are nature. My practice is a succession of techniques, explicitly process-driven." - Clinton Friedman
