AMJ, I'm not sure that you *can* separate it from your abstracts -- or why you'd want to.
I think viewers will see this work as abstract, period. Many of the works in my abstract galleries began as original photographs, photos of mixed media, etc. But, when I change them beyond recognizable form, I refer to them as abstracts -- not photo-manipulations.
What I don't want is potential buyers looking at them and being confused (more than the average abstract-viewing-confusion). :-)
Maybe I'm just missing your point . . .
