Manipulation Object by Kevin Van Aelst

Kevin was born in Elmira, New York and did most of his growing up in central Pennsylvania. His color photographs consist of common artifacts and scenes from everyday life, which have been rearranged, assembled, and constructed into various forms, patterns, and illustrations.

The images aim to examine the distance between the ‘big picture’ and the ‘little things’ in life—the banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of identity and existence.  His work is about creating order where we expect to find randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger ideas.
