Somehow the title of this show, "Choreograph," commingled with the medium, photograph, certainly linguistically. Somehow the composition of bodies moving in space is similar to that of capturing light. I get it as ntegrated layers merge this idea in the final works. Unfortunately, I was left wanting more of the abstract palette that I have come to expect from Welling in terms of color and subject. While there's nothing wrong with exhuming an old idea nor trying something new, I'm not entirely clear how these transition from, say, the Phillip Johnson "Glass House"series. Then again, parts of this sequence are obvious, the transparency and setting. This awkward transition leads me to be curious about what's next, if one could propose something so linear within the context of "light writing" that is to say photography as choreography.
