Jerry Uelsmann-On the Fringes of Understanding

Creator: Jerry Uelsmann

A dreamlike or surreal composition that plays with the boundaries of reality and imagination. Uelsmann is known for his skillful combination of multiple negatives to create seamless and fantastical scenes. The phrase “On the Fringes of Understanding” suggests an exploration of ideas, thoughts, or realms that exist at the edge of comprehension. The composition consists of a brick sidewalk, with a tree uprooting the structure, turning into cradled hands around a nested egg.
