This new gallery will have further works soon (June 2021).
In any work I like the tools that create it. Working with elegant machines, I often find that the devices used to make a picture are aften greater than the picture being made. This is true with both analog and digital equipment. A Linhof camera, the one used in making these images, is an equisite, finely tooled machine. In the same way, the software for image manipulation, Photoshop and the like, are extraordinary with creativity. It becomes hard for me not to see the tools and softwares used in making images. For this reason I began to make pictures of tools, include modes of production, and images and works that look at these tools and elements of produciton.
I watch the sun rise on a hammer set atop a found banister from the floor of my studio.
Light changes over time on an arrangement of White Glass Plates and a mirror in the studio.
Ocean pictures the raw elements of iron, white glass, wood and light awash on my studio floor. These waves of light are typical in the rainy great lakes region when time is remapped to visualize the wax and wane of the sun through passing clouds on arranged objects.
