RMA Institute Gallery presents "Maya Tattva-Vaisraddi: Illusion and the Science of Reality", a collection of digital photo-montages by New York-based artist Bruce Gundersen which were inspired by the flora and fauna of Southeast Asia.
The Tattva-Vaisraddi of the title refers to an ancient Indian text on the workings of the natural world. Gundersen explores a landscape animated by forces not visible to the sensory eye. It represents a layering of the seen world, with glimpses of metaphysical energies and actions which flow, thinly veiled, behind a sensory landscape where realities are plural and relative.
