Sometimes Photographs Make More Sense Than Words

Written by Casey

To artist Ryan Hancock, he believes that photographs make more sense than words.

To artist Ryan Hancock, he believes that photographs make more sense than words: “The world seems to me increasingly incomprehensible, and there are times when I feel there isn’t anything that I know for certain. For me, making photographs (or painting, or whatever) is necessary to translate the unintelligible reality of being into a more coherent form. Or at least to illustrate my best guesses. There is vastly more nothing in the universe than something, and I try to create images that recognize the grace by which anything at all exists.”
