'Completely captivated by the photographic possibilities of light, both
artists come at the medium with a desire to seek the extraordinary in
order to access invisible states of consciousness...The essence of both their work, therefore, appears to be rooted in the
personal and meditative relationship they have with metaphysical thought
and less with rigid notions of representing a photographic reality.
Astres Noirs gives us an insight into their supernatural vision through
these fairly eclectic astral projections...Having been a follower of both Koenning and Protick
for some time on Instagram, often being mesmerised by their images and
regularly dumbfounded at how they might have been created, I was
beautifully reminded of the very natural affinity both artists have
towards a higher state of consciousness.'
