About the series

​

I am drawn to images that carry a certain meditative quality. Part of this is achieved by using a sparse language of geometrical shapes, lines, and rhythms. Furthermore, I often use a narrow tonal range, so that the images are either overall dark or overall light. Sometimes I use alternative processes, as when I created “Genesis” by cross-printing a color slide on black-and-white paper, which transformed the white and red dahlia into a black and white explosion of energy.

​

By abstracting away from the literal subject matter, I hope to leave behind the question “What is it?”, and let our associations to come to the forefront. My goal is for the photographs to have a feeling of meditative simplicity, so they are images not from our everyday, mundane world of hustle and bustle, but instead from the more symbolic and archetypal world of our imagination.

​

All photographs are archival pigment prints, on the highly-textured Hahnemuehle William Turner paper. Prints are available at 12” x 12”, 20” x 20”, 40” x 40”, and 58” x 58”.
