Gibbous Moon

By Dennis Cooley and Michael Matthews

A gibbous moon arrives in shadow and light. First at waxing then at waning, two moons in one cycle just shy of full. Poet Dennis Cooleys eloquent words merge with photographer/composer Michael Matthews decadent abstract photographs. These two celebrated artists draw connections and parallels to each others masterful art forms, tying the two together seamlessly.  The antecedent and subsequent illuminate the night sky with their dance; the shadows and the light taking turns at showing us the way through the darkness.
