Keith Telfeyan, visual artist
Keith Telfeyan received an MFA in New York from Parsons the New School for Design in the field of Photography & Related Media.
Transcendence, perception and psychogeography are major themes throughout his work. He uses the camera to further develop a meditation practice, aiming at something like spiritual awareness. He employs minimalism for a poetic simplicity, and perspectival rigidity for formal cohesion.
