About “Crime” at Kaleid Gallery
Most of us would be horrified to come upon a crime scene. Yet there are many shows on t.v./internet, including our beloved news, that show us close-up after close-up, telling us detail after detail of brutal crimes committed every day. I am exploring the idea of when a scene becomes a crime scene, the emotions we may hold towards that image are instantly changed. Is it the blood? I don t think so. It’s more than that. It’s the blanks our minds fill in. The emotions we instantly attach to the scene make it ugly. This series proposes to give a unique perspective on criminally deviant behavior. A killer’s eye view. Enjoy.
