The Quiet Stars, 004
My aim is to connect viewers with an unmediated, authentic experience through using tactile materials in a natural, close to raw state.

"Absurd World" is commentary on perception, its subjectivity, how we make meaning from it, the issues that arise when we think of this in depth for oneself, or for a society at large. + Albert Camus

"Line Out". I had been creating abstract photos of the ocean and Sun for years, and it was bound to happen. With my love for "wind therapy" aka cruising on my motorcycle, and driving Hwy 1 to the coast and shoot photos, the road became a theme

Years, and tons of film. I tried to photograph the ocean to show it's mystery, its captivating pull. It wasn't until I began using my non-traditional photographic arts techniques that I was able to begin.

I can see the influence of 60s 70s California art on me here, from black light and black velvet paintings, psychedelic imagery and realism of Pacific sunset colors. Film 4x5 negative, multiple exposure, full neg scan, wonky curves in PS.

London. I was fortunate enough to visit London with my family a year+ ago. During my starving artist years, I never thought I'd have both a great family and also the opportunity to travel like this!
