Chromatic Reflection

Chromatic Reflection is an artist monograph by Los Angeles based sculptor and photographer Aaron Farley.Unearthing a long neglected series of medium format negatives whilst exploring downtown St Louis' Queen Of Lace, Continental-Life Building, Farley salvaged such, archiving these until July of 2016, and Chromatic Reflection's genesis. Encompassing negatives created by a professional photographic studio once housed within the Queen Of Lace, circa 1960, Chromatic Reflection saw Farley photograph these abandoned negatives, then infuse such throughout with brilliant colour field, enigmatic dimensionality, and contemplative distortion. Authoring engaging chromatic works of parallel chronology, halted ephemerality, the substantiation of time's abstraction, Farley's work explores that paradoxical endeavour of restructuring chronology through captured image, substituted continuum, and material memory.
