“Photography, for me, is a means of exploring the profound beauty in the quiet and often overlooked details of life. My work is a meditation on light, texture, and form– capturing fleeting moments that evoke emotion, memory, and introspection. After a long hiatus from the art world, I have returned to photography with a renewed vision, seeking to distill the essence of my subjects into compositions that feel both timeless and intimate.
“My images are deeply personal yet universally resonant, drawing inspiration from the interplay of shadow and illumination, the passage of time, and the delicate tension between permanence and impermanence. Each photograph tells a story–not just of what is seen, but what is felt. Through my work, I invite viewers to slow down, to look deeper and to find their own reflection within the stillness of an image.
“Art is an ongoing dialogue between the creator and the observer, and my hope is that my photography serves as an entry point for contemplation, curiosity, and connection. “
The highly skilled and imaginative work of photographic artist Kimball Derrick takes center stage in My Book of Life – The Preface. For decades, Kimball has diligently captured images of nature and the world around him, reflecting a reverence of the beauty and spirituality that can be discovered in nature.
My Book of Life – The Preface invites audiences to explore the backstory of this artist life and the experience his artistic vision, which has for so long been kept out of public view.
