Welcome to the first Insight Sunday of the spring, Bill Armstrong! The acclaimed photographer invites you to join him as he discusses the process behind his book All A Blur: Photographs from the Infinity Series. In addition to speaking about his creative process, Armstrong will also lean-in to the process of editing and photo selection that goes into making a photography book – both highly intuitive processes to which the artist brings insight and wisdom. Following the discussion there will be a Q&A.

An extensive body of work that has been ongoing since 1997, The Infinity Series brings together compositions Armstrong has made through a unique process of photographing found images with a camera’s focusing ring set at infinity, rendering a completely new image that is extremely out of focus. Armstrong creates new worlds, hovering between real and fantasy, where things are just beyond our grasp. In this world, the viewer is unable to fully resolve the image. Armstrong believes that the “psyche momentarily derailed” by this is what frees the viewer to respond emotionally.
