As an artist, I am challenged with confronting the complexity of daily visual imagery that our brains simplify as we perceive, absorb and comprehend information. The gritty textured aspects of a metropolis provide a backdrop to explore visual complexity as well as the inherent beauty and transformations of cityscapes that are not usually seen. The process of making photographs is for me, mindful and filled with serendipity.
Photographic optics enables me to envisage this myriad of content so as to experience dense, layered information within each individual frame. My photographs are influenced by my subliminal mind, past, and emotions; they mirror the fragmented and conflictual nature of emotional experience.
