Artist’s Statement
The title of the show “Perceived Impressions” is derived from the fact that each viewer brings his or her own experiences, memories and beliefs into play when interpreting the image. I want the viewers to see what they want to see in any particular photograph given the information that I have presented them. Therefore, the images may be read differently according to different viewers.
My subjects, for the most part, are rather common kinds of things. I am fascinated with the play of light and how light and shadow can make even the most ordinary objects appear extraordinary. A change in the intensity and direction of light can accentuate a line or forms that previously had gone unnoticed. But it takes observing everything both big and small in a scene to see something different.
I prefer to take photographs of “found” subjects, letting the subject dictate the final image, I also enjoy exploring nature and the relationship of man coexisting with nature.
