The unique work of Stephen F. Gordon is composed of fragments of photographs and pencil drawing. He takes all of the photos and prints all of them using many years of teaching photography and Art as his guide to the special effects he desires. Each of the works is then created by cutting and taping and drawing to achieve its own transient qualities. Many parts of the photos are actually drawings or altered photos. The tape and photos physically bond with the vellum to produce a very strong surface, but the visual sensation is of a temporary union of elements to give a glimpse of a moment in space. Decay and order, energy and rigidity, construction and deconstruction are all simultaneously participating in the image. It lives forever in its suspension of change as an image but always suggests that in an instant it will dissolve into a different balance or imbalance of forces. Mr. Gordon has done a number of different
series including "The Bridges of Paris", "The Decay
of Venice", "Castles of Europe", "Brownstones
of NY", "Landscapes of the Mind", "The Empire
that was Rome",The Glory of Abstraction", and others.
