ABOUT

I’m Garland Sutton,

I'm an artist & photographer...

 ​

...who attempts to capture the essence of the world in its simplest form. My work is an acknowledgement of the fascinating compositions I encounter along my path, whether visual, coincidental, or emotional.

​

I aim to recognize the moments that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. 

​

As a child, I kept a journal of my dreams as a means of remembering them. However, the act of writing them down pushed the important details to the pereiphery and made them impossible to grasp. To capture the essence, I decided that I'd need to record my impressions and feelings that the dreams evoked. Through this process, I found a way to trigger the same feeling from the dream without having to remember every single detail.  

​

I strive to remember authentically and to reflect on the gap between original intention and discovered meaning. I hope that there is something universal in the composition, poignant in the design, and persistent in the language.
