Unity of Time and Place
Some say, all time exists at once; the indefinite continued
progress of existence and events in the past, present, and
future are regarded as a whole. As always, I am vastly interested
in reality... so this cohesion is mesmerizing to me.
After spending the last several years immersed in the past I am
ready to embrace the future. But as I set out, the past is with
me, transformed. All the losses are still there but there is a
brightness forming that allows me to see the entirety, the unity
of time and place.
I don’t consider myself a "photographer" but an image-maker, as I create work that bridges the world of photography, prints and collage. As digital cameras began producing excellent resolution, I found my perfect medium. It was a true confluence of technical advancements and creative desire that culminated in my current explorations in photo-inspired art using both a camera to capture imagery and a computer to alter, combine and manipulate the pieces.
My work has been shown in galleries and museums world-wide as well as numerous web-based sites.
