remi thornton's images remind me of that feeling one get's on the very first night of summer, right as the sun starts to set. an all encompassing feeling of hope and expectation. you know the one i'm talking about. that emotion that has been chased by writers, poets, film makers, artists...forever. remi's photographs seem to capture that evocation of an expected, awaited exhilaration with a wee creepy vibe thrown in there for balance. his images are right on the cusp of a happening it seems, slightly fleeting, right there w/in your grasp if you wait long enough, but look away and you may miss it.
i saw remi's photography last weekend at bernard toale here in boston. there were i believe, three photographs, and i was completely immersed in them. i wanted more so badly. i look forward to future show's of his. until then my friends we have his website.
