About This PortfolioMost of us see the street every day – on the way to work, to thestore, to school. Yet how much do we really see? In partnership with my camera, I have been gathering evidence of what is there on a particular day in a particular place when I aim my camera down. I see only potential: a texture, a color field.

My work as a painter and photographer is about enlarging bits of the landscape of daily life until they cross the edge into abstraction. I start with shards or bed sheets or garbage that say “Look at me! I am more than you think. I am evidence of the particular nature of concrete and cloth, of the transformation of light, of countless wads of gum mashed into the sidewalk by countless pairs of feet.” more » |
