The Surreal in the Real: The Concrete Irrational in Rocks and Ice

Description

9.6×9.6″; 60pp, 56 images (49 b&w; 7 color). Simpson’s best images from 2022-2023 in the US West and Iceland (mostly), following Dalí’s idea of the “concrete irrational”—featuring provocative-evocative figuration in natural formations. These go beyond the contents of conventional pareidolia (faces, bodies, animals) to draw from the expanded inventory of the Surrealist imagination. Most of the images are featured in the galleries on this site. Price includes tax.
