My work investigates objects from nature,
which are intriguing because of their beauty, function, form, and design;
I am mesmerized by their grace and sensuousness. I approach this work from
a variety of viewpoints searching for the structure, pattern, design, organic
abstraction and subliminal eroticism within each object. By presenting an
intimate perspective, I intend for the viewer to rediscover these familiar
objects.
The vivid wide spectrum of colors inherent in the Ink Jet Print conveys
a sensual and lush contemporary feeling. The rich brown of the Selenium
toned silver print offers a sense of mystery. Likewise, the romantic quality
of the Vandyke process heightens the effect of nostalgia. The deep blues
of the Cyanotype process emphasizes the quirkiness of some of these organic
specimens. Each one of these objects acts as evidence of a power beyond
mankind. I want the viewer to cherish them and find them imbued with the
same rarefied honor as I do. I want these images to transcend objective
documentation, celebrate life and reference the majestic importance of nature. |
