Imagine an artist-photographer whose medium is light and whose subjects are water and glass, who sees the artwork-to-be in the wall of windows before tripping the shutter. Judith Rayl is that artist-photographer. These images are single-capture abstractions, made without layering, filtering, or image manipulation. Many photographers use multiple exposures, mixed media, and a smorgasbord of digital effects to create their abstract images, but Rayl demonstrates how it can be done without montage, distortion, or extensive post-processing. With closely-fitted original poetry as part of her portfolio, she weaves a story of the healing power of beauty and the power of the artist’s eye.
