Drawing from a foundation in abstract painting, I use the
camera as a tool to create abstract art. The joy of photography
for me is in discovering striking compositions and relationships
among abandoned buildings, interiors, boatyards and other
man made structures. My goal is to create images that convey
the aesthetic experience I feel when taking the photograph,
often altering the light, color and texture on the computer
to enhance the artistic impact without obscuring the underlying
photograph.
Lilliputian Landscapes: In this series of unaltered photographs I create fantasy landscapes from food and other common objects and populate them with miniature figures. These temporary, miniature fantasy worlds suggest an alternate reality, such as turning a collection of fruit into a golf course or an open squash into a construction site.
Endangered Spaces: These photographs tell a story about a place that is in danger of disappearing. Some are “photographic montages” that combine two views of the same location into one image, giving greater depth to the perception of place. Others combine photography with collage or construction in an attempt to more fully communicate the sense of space.
The photographs are printed in limited editions with archival pigment ink on ultra premium quality archival paper.
