Artist Statement:
I've always been drawn to rich
colors and textures. They seem
to punch through clutter and
demand attention. And when
looking at them I usually end
up daydreaming.
Those little side trips of the
imagination were a great
source of relaxation and
inspiration and ultimately
became the basis for my
photography. I like the way a
lush color focuses the eye,
how textures make you want to
reach out and the irony that
clean visual structures can
expand the imagination rather
than inhibit it. Photographs
were no longer about defining
a wall, but a way of punching
a hole through it. Sometimes
those qualities are found in
big vistas and at other times
in extreme close up.
These images engage my mind
with possibilities. I hope
some will punch a hole through
your box.
