Roaming through the tidal marshes of Cape Cod, I’ve observed and recorded the ebb and flow of tide during countless hours. Time slows time down considerably doing this activity, which allows me to become aware of minute changes in the landscape. In Finding Japan, I discovered some essentials of Japan by observing details of the ancient walls and how time and weather alters the built environment. Travel has influenced my photography by altering my sense of perspective, my way of seeing. what color is Buddha? is a portrait series looking at representations of the Buddha - then transforming the portraits through my contemporary filter - adding colors and backgrounds to create context and mood. The world reveals itself to me through photographic reflections in The Blues series. Trees are seen on the water’s surface. Markings bleed through from the pool’s bottom. Debris floats on the surface. The world is a layered experience. At one point, I began montaging landscape images together to digitally. I place figures in the reflected Blues patterns. I digitally montage fragments of landscape images to construct new, imagined landscapes. I combine figurative elements and backgrounds that echo meaning in the various Buddha portraits. The Cape Cod series are straight shots of my encounters with plant life in ponds there. Coming attractions: Asian-style Screen-installations using contemporary and historic imagery.
