Michael Schreier

"There are for any artist, however certainly the photographer two basic concerns, initially the objective witness and then the resulting process of mark making. Both analog and digital technologies provide the artist with both observation and then intervention through printing/manipulation and the translation of the original material. In very simple terms the artist/photographer adjusts through the print process to allow for a direct relationship to the original experience. The relationship developed can be quite direct, objective vision for an objective print: photographing an apple offers a photograph of an apple; however, the original experience may be much more complicated in that the original experience that informs an artist’s decision may be based in memory of an earlier time. For me one of the primary influences that offer insight to my work is my immigrating to Canada as a young boy and having to learn a new language."
