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.
More recently I have been exploring the concept
of reality and illusion by constructing scenes using food
and other common objects as landscape with miniature figures
and animals as residents in these fanciful worlds. Each image
is a “real” photograph containing “real
objects” with no computer manipulation, yet the impression
is of fantasy and whimsy… a “fake” scene
that depicts one of the many truths, joys, sufferings, or
foibles of the human race.
Prints are produced in limited editions with
archival ink on heavy fine art archival paper.
