In a painterly fashion, photographer Ken Fandell merges his sky images from various locations around the country and Europe
into one huge, seamless photomontage.
More than 500 exposures are incorporated into his landscape representing "all the skies" as well as all time -- the
duration of day and night.
 Fandell says he is interested in the tension between how things appear and how they really are. The resulting image is majestic and quirky, impossible and familiar, like a Baroque painting that has been severely agitated.
Photographer Ken
Fandell was born in Evanston, IL
and received his MFA in photography and new genres from the University of Illinois,
Chicago.
He has
participated in shows at the Museum of
Contemporary Art in Chicago,
the Houston Center
for Photography, Texas, and Queens Museum
of Art in New York.
Solo exhibitions include Bodybuilder and Sportsman Gallery, Chicago,
IL and Traywick Contemporary, San Francisco, CA.
