Much of my work involves a play of geometric form that is animated by organic rhythms . I like to think of geometry as representing the logical , rational part of our being , while organic forces , together with color , speak to our emotional core . For me , the way in which these elements interplay , touches upon something quite complex and human .
My process is highly intuitive , and I often draw upon memories of form and color gleaned from walls , windows , machines , doors , shadows and streets and other sources . I use my camera like a sketchbook to record the particulars of my experience — unique moments when light touches a form in a magical way . I ' m attracted to architectural and other subjects which , though once " perfect " in their man-made precision , have subsequently fallen into disrepair through age and neglect — shifting from the modern or postmodern into a primitive state , carrying the wisdom of a long silent tale .
