A review of Rockne Krebs Photographs + Interpretations:
"It is an indisputable truth that without light, there could be no life.
This book is a stunning compendium of the works of Rockne Krebs,
an artist and pioneer in the transformation of light into ethereal
articulations of time and space. Whether using colorful lasers or the
rainbow spectrum of natural light, the artist exploits the optical
properties of metal, glass, water and atmospheric essence to create
dynamic three-dimensional experiences.
Carol Harrison, author and photographer, does a magnificent job of
interpreting the ephemeral art of Rockne Krebs from the eye,
through the lens, and back again in this beautiful tribute. "

"A strong philosophical influence also came from the sculptor Rockne Krebs,
with whom Gilliam shared a studio building."
Alison Carb Sussman, Gale Encyclopedia of Biography: Sam Gilliam.

“Rockne's art was genius. The website and book clearly shows how brilliant an artist
he was, Inventive, and on such a scale.” Claudia DeMonte, Artist and Sculptor

I do think these are just about the most extraordinary and best photographs of a sculpture that I've ever seen. It seems like a living work, the way it is actually experienced, not like some clinical rendering, which is what most photographs of sculptures look like.

This is such a marvelous piece! And your photographs of it make it look like a wonderous multi-faceted, multi-colored jewel.

You were out there Wednesday photographing it in the rain?
