---------- Inevitably, a
conversation with Horowitz about his work
comes around to the issue of technology
and technique. Horowitz's signature is a
fantastical amalgamation of elements,
sometimes wildly disparate, into a whole
that feels compelling and organically
composed, as if the interaction presented
were physically possible, such as his 1994
composition "Allegory 2," which shows a
hawk rescuing a baby from a fall of water
set against a twilit canyon setting.
Horowitz considers himself more of a
"photocomposer" than a photgrapher, a
fitting term considering there is a
musical fluidity and harmony at work in
many of the artist's pieces. But the
vehicle of this seamless integration of
images is the computer and although
Horowitz depends upon technology as a
tool, he is cautionary about its
overuse.
