Artist Statement of Todd Suttles
I love to discover the Divine Harmony hidden in the apparent chaos of this world. Working as a hair colorist/stylist I strove to create styles for my clients that expressed the harmony and unique essence of each individual. I am intrigued by the contradictions of Truth & Illusion, Perception & Projection.

I like to create images that present the viewer an opportunity to observe the chaos of life while simultaneously presenting a choice to recognize the inherent harmony; be it called beauty, the spiritual or natural order.

Because I desire my images to resonate with “perceived truth” I prefer they originate from a single photograph, preferably not cropped. I do take advantage of digital technology to enhance an image to convey its meaning; much the way I manipulated film images in the darkroom. I believe everything begins with a well executed photograph, taken purposefully at the point of creation.
