Murky mood-lighting informs much of Keith Fishman's hypnotic
small image "Tulips, Monticello," an interior
scene highlighted by
the tiny dancing sheen of tulips and their white vase. They
become
little beacons in a darkened yet detailed space. Here, flowers
appear
almost heavenly, like impermanent and delicate epiphanies
in the
darkness. No wonder artists continually return to the subject.

"Alternative views of land and landscapes"
Close-up scrutiny is required on our part
to get the point of Keith
Fishman's subtle photographs, marked by the sparsest bursts
of visual
activity, which is what gives them their poetic charm. A
tiny twig, a
bit of driftwood lodged between boulders, and other minutia
are
granted larger importance in the natural scheme, or so the
message seems to be.

There are surprising implications of voyeurism working
two ways,
windows that suggest bug-eyed perspectives look back at
the
viewer. "Gloves" goes further in suggesting the
inhumanity of mass
culture: A bewildering overload of information hides behind
pretty, tactile facades.
Fishman loves textures, and better yet, textures that
empty into the
void. "Eclip" and "Pods" suggest a texture
of half or mistaken
meaning that empties out onto blank mystery, thus making
the
photographs hard to file away. In other words, objects to
contemplate over long periods, or in still another world,
art."
