Artist Statement
My photographic projects are careful investigations of a singular subject. The subjects are simple -- an LA pool, an old farmhouse window, or a pond. My interest is in capturing reflections on surfaces at different time of day or season as the images change with the light. They are fluid and ephemeral. They can appear multidimensional. Am I in front, behind, above or below. Am I dislocated and floating somewhere between?
Many images are abstract reconstructions. I twist and overlay color fields and shapes for the sensuality, tension and energy. Beauty is a construct that I purposely impose to provide a thread of tranquility in each series .
Some projects began during recovery from injury or in confinement during the pandemic, but the experiences of them are the same. The dislocation inherent in the reflections become akin to a submerged and internal life. But these images transform my internal world into one of promise. They hint at freedom, and the experience is buoyant. They are transient yet leave behind a feeling of serenity.
