Cover Art
The photograph used for the cover of ETC 73:4 is by Rick Wise -- the fourth image in a four-part series. Wise labels his images “Photographic Fiction.” Currently he is working on two different series, Things, everyday objects we pass by without seeing, and Time-Flows, in which time is simultaneously expanded and contracted. He considers all of his work “Dancing with the Eye.”
