Phantom Galleries is proud to present:

Stream of Consciousness
Robert Delare Chavez III solo exhibition

Opening reception: First Friday February 3rd 5pm–9pm

The creation of streams of ideas flowing in my brain when I focus on this work. I specifically chose to work using an inexpensive Holga camera on this project because of its versatility and the dream-like captures I can create with it. I use mixed media to intensify or emphasize my experimental exploration of this photographic project, hence a stream of ideas. Shadows, light, and structure continually clashing with life, color, and environment. My own chaos mixed with what is around me. Enjoy the experience.
