The Art of Extractionism
Worlds within your own exist.
Through my photography I try to bridge the gap between abstraction and reality.
In contrast with many abstract paintings, the images I produce are about the concentration of the camera's viewfinder on the real world, rather than the application of medium onto the studio canvas.
My work is about seeing the everyday in an artistic way. The images all reflect careful studies of light, shadow, texture, form, materiality, color, and most importantly, composition.
Except for a possible re-orientation when framing, nothing is done to superficially distort the single frames. No filters are used on the camera lens, the compositions are not physically altered, and nothing is artificially manipulated in the print creation process. My goal is to present the viewer with a piece of what existed when I discovered it with my own eyes.
The camera allows for the abstraction of reality... through the extraction of an area from its context.
In other words, the compositions are created out of chaos and captured by consciousness. Nature and its forces in our world are the real artists.
