Artist’s Statement
The literal name for photography means, “Light writing.” I think that is a wonderful
description because light is so important to any photograph. William Henry Fox Talbot,
an early pioneer in the development of photography, called photographs, “the pencil of
nature.”
Seeing the magic in those first recorded images captivated the people. Now, whether the
image is on film or digital sensor, which magic still exists today.
I have titled this collection of photographs, Revealing Line. All around us, through careful observation, there are opportunities to see unique images. Light and shadow act to isolate line and form, with the resulting light drawings coming to life.
