Steve Bliss: Finding Perfect Subjects

Steve Bliss is serious about the value art can bring to a fractured society, yet he recognizes that elements of art can also be used to manipulate a culture. Bliss believes there is a truth that can be approached through photography, despite its proclivity to nostalgia—capturing a romanticized or idealized feeling of the past—and he appreciates the turn photography has taken toward awakening a sense beyond nostalgia. Bliss is frank, funny, and unpretentiously intelligent in the stories he tells of his art and art in general.
