The Starn brothers' Attracted to Light H (1996-2000),
5-foot-square toned silver print on Thai mulberry paper

20x200 esteemed photographers Doug and Mike Starn have images of nocturnal moth studies on view at Colorado's Steele Gallery through October 25th.

Fueled by their thoughtful investigations of art, philosophy, cognitive science and history, the Starns provoke an interrogation of Cartesian ontology with their unique melding of metaphor and material. From the transformation of a delicate drying leaf into a digital sculpture, or a moth etched onto film by light, its own undoing, the Starns’ images thrum with the poetic tension between presence and absence, darkness and enlightenment.
