David Arky

David Arky is not just an artist for art's sake. To him, photography is a calling in which the final image is designed to achieve an end. Since his start, he's seen photography as a kind of visual language, crafted in specific ways to solve specific challenges.

The use of x-ray images and computers are tools for realizing Arky's vision as an artist with an interest in Sciences of the natural world.

Photography and the x-ray process both explore ideas of exposure of nature. An inner life is uncovered in the nature of x-ray photography and in the actions of the subjects. Static props from everyday life become animated and humanized with recognizable personas. Stories of the world and of nature become the nonsensical and yet nonthreatening in the natural world and thus become deeply familiar.
