BEAUTY CAN BE STRANGE.
THE STRANGE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.
I love to create photographs.
That may sound like a cliché, but it’s true. I’ve been a “creative” my entire life, however photography was an unanswered calling of mine for decades. Then, in 2013, I finally purchased my first digital SLR camera. Tens of thousands of frames later, here I am.
Today, I create lens-based art. Doing so thrills me to my marrow. I seem to have an eye for capturing images, and there are awards and accolades in my Artist CV to back me up on that. (And I also appreciate the card that my Mom wrote.)
My passion as an artist is to capture human-altered landscapes with a sense of “the uncanny” – the psychological experience of something as strangely familiar. Familiar objects or places evoke a sense of being both beautiful and strange, reflecting a splendour we seldom notice.
In my ongoing series, “Newer Topographics”, a canvas is created, which emphasizes the strong sense of isolation humankind feels due to the juxtaposition of natural landscape with solitary manmade constructs.
I believe that the essence of my art is in finding and making what at first glance may seem to be the ordinary, and then encouraging it to bring out its strangeness, and then bending that again to find its true beauty. And my sense of joy delights in the fact that it may take a moment or two for my images to reveal themselves to you. And when they do, I hope you see the same beauty and feel the same sense of wonder as I do.
