"Spiritography: revealing hidden presences within rust, weathered surfaces, and forgotten infrastructure."
Dave Vescio creates Spiritography, a photographic and object-based practice centered on faces, watchers, and presences discovered within rust, damaged metal, weathered paint, and other overlooked surfaces.
Working primarily along the Route 66 corridor, he photographs details that are normally passed by without notice, then transforms them into limited-edition artworks on ChromaLuxe HD aluminum or museum-grade acrylic. The finished pieces occupy a space between photography, painting, and sculptural object.
His work invites viewers to move beyond abstraction and material decay toward the experience of something looking back.
