Artist Statement
I encounter the world through photography, striving to see and know the forms and spirit of things. I explore the glory & pathos, the heroism & hubris of humanity and our struggle to find and create meaning. One influence is Georgia O’Keeffe, who could draw a banana plant or paint a landscape pregnant with the human condition.
Another is Margaret Bourke-White, who saw beauty in industry. Themes include #PerformanceArt, #HardHatArt, #EarthAbstracts, #CreatureEncounter, #IntimateLandscape, #ArchitecturalAbstracts. Framing is a foundational
aesthetic and tool of the photographer. Imposing frames on reality profoundly disrupts reality, isolating, freezing, re-presenting a fragment of time and space, which humans by and large experience as continuous. Whatever my subject-nature, industry, architecture-I use abstraction, framing and techniques like selective focus, color, and monochrome to transform telling details and fleeting insights into an invitation to viewers to see and know as well.
