David Versluis | Roy R. Behrens: a collaborative series of Iowa Insect Montages
The Iowa Insect Digital Montage Series preface by Roy R. Behrens:
David Versluis and I decided to try something. He has a collection of Iowa bugs (dead ones) of which he made exquisite scans at high resolution. He began to send me the scan files, one at a time by e-mail, with the challenge that I should respond to them by beginning to build a digital montage, using Adobe Photoshop. I could do whatever I liked. Then I would pass that back to him, in response to which he’d make a move—and pass it back to me again (as if we were playing chess). And so on, usually with five or six back-and-forth turns, until we mutually came to suspect that the work was finished. So that’s how we proceeded.

The tension between making art that depends on familiar devices and being honest to an artistic vision.
David Versluis
Spirit Lake, Iowa: Fish with Brush
Digital / Giclèe Print, Framed 31'' x 40''
2005 and printed in 2007
This piece responds allusively to tension between the technical aspects of digital images and the intention of the artist who makes them. Thinking of the fish image as metaphor was the primary goal with these digitally produced pieces. However, the inclusion of the brush image in the composition is a simile that senses the intrinsic tension between the computer as artistic medium and the tradition of the artist’s brush as the painter’s handcrafted tool.
My work is produced through digital photography, digital collage techniques, and eight-color giclée printing. Digital collage is a medium, in the structure of binary data that can shape and express highly personal artistic work.

Background image is from quarter-sawn oak paneling (c.1500) found in the interior design of the Musée de Cluny, which is officially known as Musée National du Moyen Âge (National Museum of the Middle Ages) and photographed by Versluis. Light passages in the image were generated through Photoshop techniques that, although blurred, seems to bring out the Gothic and Renaissance styles.

I am also working on a flash website to become a portfolio of photography and artwork.
It is currently under construction but I would love any comments and suggestions you have to offer. Portfolio.
