Artist Statement:
I see human artifacts as a
more accurate reflection of
the society that created them.
Bypassing the
superficialities of commercial
culture, I find beauty in
utilitarian things and
unmanaged settings.
Everyday objects and locales
possess a sublime sense of
form, proportion, and color.
They appear genuine without
being nostalgic, are often
grand without being
alienating, and are original
without being sensational.
I systematically explore
venues of the overlooked along
the backroads of America. I
look for things too
utilitarian to be noticed and
vistas driven by too
frequently to stand out.
Sharply rendered with a view
camera and Ilfochrome prints,
my subjects have less in
common than the way I treat
them.
More than anything else I
discover color. Accidental or
intended, color is not
formally understood and thus
can bypass the affectations of
the mind and speak sincerely
from the heart. I employ
point of view, form and
texture to lend the color
presence and veracity.
My images show a world apart
from headlines and hyperbole,
where the maelstrom of the
human condition is hidden in
plain sight....
