Padgett McFeely ~ Then and Now
"Then" represents a collection of my “wet darkroom” hand painted black and white photographs; a medium I worked with for over 25 years.
"Now" represents my digital imagery that consists of combining my original photographs and manipulating them in photoshop to impart a message. I often find that ravens and crows are the perfect subject matter for bringing forth the ideas and feelings I am working on conveying.
Corvids have long been the subject of folklore and spiritualism, as well as the subject of creation stories and traditional beliefs, each specific to independent Indigenous North American nations.
Being associated with wisdom, thought, foresight, transformation and more, these big beautiful birds are also highly intelligent.
