Bio

Artist Statement New York Photo collage Series

All my work is informed by my surrondings. Each piece speaking of Beauty, Nature,
Science. The smallest things in Nature are given the same weight as those normally
regarded as the most important. The work has all to do with the connections and coexistence of different places .

The work is designed to be read at different distances, as the meaning follows on different levels. From a distance, they may appear to be stain glass windows. Washes of color and geometric forms. Mosaics.

The grid suspends dichotomies in tension. A sequential story all-at-once.

As one approaches, a different work appears. Images set like jewels. Stories reveal
themselves from the interplay between images, meeting for the first time. The vertical
and horizontal strips of images live like little films or plays.

Using nineteenth-century photography techniques, and modern chemicals, I try to
evoke the beauty of nature and a bygone time. All photographs are original prints,
which have been toned and hand colored.

Being that I live right next to the Brooklyn Bridge and see the downtown skyline
everyday it is easy to study these great places in detail.
