ARTIST STATEMENT: In my current project, The City Once Removed, I have been taking daily photographs of New York, seeking to depict the much-photographed city in fresh new ways. I experiment with densely layered reflections, textural montages, found abstracts, and jarring angles. In my series Puddle World, I capture reflections of rushing New Yorkers and skyscrapers flickering as soft focus apparitions, and combine these puddle reflections with the found geometry of the street: sidewalk cracks, rusty curb lining, and the bold lines of traffic markings. Another series comprises urban close-ups that highlight usually unnoticed beauty in construction sites and other ground-level grit; within this series, one grouping consists of photos of abstract patterns of wear and tear on the sides of delivery trucks. A third series consists of street portraits of New Yorkers on their cell phones, an attempt to document the important social change being wrought by these devices.
