Shimmering Zen (9780977880676)

Las Vegas artist James Stanford photographs the mid-century neon signage and architectural elements of his hometown to create mesmerizing contemporary works of art. Stanford has earned an international reputation for an innovative and diverse oeuvre founded on the values of artistic experimentation and meditative practice. Working inventively in a wide range of media and genres, Stanford is celebrated today for his pictorial orchestrations drawing primarily upon the iconic vintage signage of Las Vegas. Shimmering Zen includes essays concerning craft, technique, photography, digital arts, development of portfolio, the artist's journey, Zen Buddhism, influences of modern technology and practice, and the power of place.

Designed by Philip Lewis, Shimmering Zen consists of more than 150 of Stanford's original works created over the past 15 years. The book includes a foreword by Jeff Rosen, comprehensive essays by Elizabeth Herridge, and an author interview by Laura Henkel.
