The Why

Artist Statement

The urban environment fascinates me. I love the everyday objects- buildings, power lines, cars, train tracks- for their complexity and function. We co-exist with them, yet take them for granted and they go unnoticed. We interact with these objects everyday, but overlook the role they play in defining the city’s appearance. This idea inspires much of my artwork. To create these pieces, I shoot large format digital photographs and bring them together in a digital environment. Each collage takes the individual objects out of their normal context and places them into one that more clearly expresses the beauty of the urban landscape’s form, color and structure.
