Digital Photo Composites/Amorphic Figures:
The human condition is always changing. It is never clear where we
are going, and often a mystery where we have been. We look for
solitude, connection with others, amusement, question why and how
we are here, study nature, explore creativity and hope to generate
peace.
I find the amorphic figures interesting and mysterious, as there is no
sense of who they are, where they are or what they are doing.
These are original digital photograph composites. They are not
planned or staged, but are found, captured and whole photographs are
combined in Photoshop. My focus is visual exploration, and the
intention is to create images unlike those I've seen before, break as
many rules as possible and explore colors, shapes, lines and textures.
There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something
unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually
resemble photographs.
