Artist Statement: "The Moment Series"
With this series, I explore the line of light. Minute details reveal themselves in anomalies of daily life: sculpting a human face, a swan's neck or a bench slat in sunset light after rain. The abstraction of how light composes an image, guides me. The image usually brings me intimately close- closer than I often feel comfortable. Yet, when I am there, I surrender to the exquisite simplicity of the line which has drawn me to it. I explore the abstraction in that place, in that moment. This series is the result of that moment.
I was greatly influenced by Charles Daugherty, artist, sculptor and professor, during my training with him at the Claremont Colleges. This led me to not merely see a subject, but to follow the line which came off of it and pursue its abstraction into my photographs. As a result, I am often influenced by simple groupings of line. My exploration guides me to settings--urban and natural-- where lines with stories reveal themselves to me.
I make digital photographs with natural lighting and avoid any editing. I am most satisfied when a subject has so completely communicated with me in the moment that no editing is required. The resulting capture is mounted on aluminum panel, allowing a contemporary connection with the composition without obstruction of frame or glass.
