This image was captured from the roof of my building during the first week of lockdown in New York City. It is a double exposure of the cityscape, looking north. It expresses the feeling of isolation and emptiness we experienced, as our inhabitants withdrew on order to deal with this crises.
At the heart of my photographic work over the past twenty years has been my fascination with Manhattan’s cityscape, and its constant evolution. Between 2003 and 2009 I had 3 solo exhibitions at OK Harris Works of Art, entitled, Mecca or Madness, Billscapes,and Deconstruction. Each body of work, while linked in a perceptual investigation of urban environment, has expressed this mission in a uniquely different way.
Manhattan’s constantly changing visual plan continues to inspire me to explore its physical complexity. More recently, I have included toy cameras and my cell phone in my toolbox.
