Ken Rosenthal (b. 1964) is an American artist living and workingin Tucson, Arizona. Since 2001, his subject has been an over-arching study of time, collective memory, fiction and cultural iconography; as seen through a somewhat brooding re-interpretation of historic negatives and photographs—specifically imagery from his own family album. He presents exceptionally crafted photographs—bleached, split-toned and blurred—that bring together a range of associations that seem at once shared yet highly personal, unknowable yet familiar. Like memory, his photographs are ethereal and ambiguous.–Klompching Gallery

Ethereal and ambiguous, two of my favorite things.
