Artists statement: "My photography involves the examination of hidden details of urban life transformed into aesthetic objects. In the tradition of minimalist artists whose focus is on context, it is texture that facilitates the dialogue between the natural and the man-made world. Metal is harmonized with wood, deteriorating paint takes on the significance of a volcano, sunset or rainstorm. I am interested in transforming the mundane to art, elevating both the subject and the possibilities of photography." See less
