STATEMENT

Through handmade collage, I am able to discover new relationships between varied juxtaposed elements. Through my creation, I experience an affinity that slowly strengthens as the whole creation becomes greater than the sum of its individual parts. I visualize the connections as oscillating objects belonging in expansive environments. Perspective is paramount. I gravitate toward far-reaching skies and barren landscapes. I am building a new reality; a reality that is your invitation to introspection.

BIO

Victor Perrotti resides in Virginia Beach with his family. His first camera was a Kodak Pocket-Instamatic 110 purchased for him by his mother. He has been taking photographs for the majority of his life.

He embraced digital photography but never got rid of his darkroom equipment. Victor continues to shoot digital from time to time but bytes don’t hold his interest like small particles of metal.

Victor holds degrees in the fields of Education and Graphic Design. After retiring from a career as a public school teacher, he thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (NoBo).

He is continually searching for new ways through which to self-actualize. His interests include collage, drawing, painting, and printing. He counts among his many influences Sigmund Freud, Henry David Thoreau, Allen Ginsberg, Jorge Castillo, and the Bauhaus School of Design. The Mid-Atlantic Coast is his studio. You can find him out searching among the waves, trees, railroad tracks, abandoned warehouses, graveyards, telephone poles, bridges, and broken glass.
