Motion Series: This work is a result of my passionate pursuit of the floating suspension of movement. Each photograph is created in a single exposure made on site. They represented the capture of a single moment in time, in camera and on film. All black & white images were made on film. Second, I add spatial relationships of objects to the concept that photographs represent reality. I examine anachronistically with a bit of synchronism the object-context metaphor. The black & white checked pattern I used emphasized the visual result of motion.
Fish Series: Here, my objet d’art becomes a fish. The fish becomes part of a subjective temporal distortion with an arid place of strength. We may all feel like a “Fish Out Of Water” in our daily landscape. This series is ongoing. The most recent captures were digitally made in camera. I always travel with a fish.
Infrared Series: James O. Milmoe was my first photography professor. Wow. He was an expert with film. After I learned about the chemistry and science behind the art of photography, I found Kodak’s black & white infrared film and developer. After lots of testing I was drawn to the drama and exaggerated effects of temperature, atmosphere and living plants infrared brought to my work. = Art + Science.
