Three Ws (Webs, Water, Wrinkles) includes combinations of images to create single photographic prints and features natural objects (animate and inanimate), movement, reflections, textures, and paintings. The focus of this work is to present images that appear to be beautiful from a distance and upon closer examination include dust, aged/dried material, and even aggressive fish during feeding time.
Webs. The intricacy and details of spider webs are visually compelling, especially when delineated by water droplets that help to reveal geometric structure.
Water. I am fascinated by moving water - how it creates shapes, reflects light and color, reveals and/or obscures what resides under the surface, and constantly changing.
Wrinkles. These images are details of my abstract paintings combined with natural elements. These photographs of dried wrinkled elements and paintings represents beauty even as it ages. A reminder that change is a process, not an event.
When combining images, I consider formal aspects of the work such as texture, composition, rhythm, and color with special attention to “conversations” between images at the edge of photographs.
