About the Artist |
Beauty and grit coexist in the urban landscape.
We tend to walk through our city surroundings, focused only on getting from one place to another as quickly as possible. When I slow down, details can jump out and demand my attention: streams of bright sunlight finding their way through a tangle of dense concrete structures, a dramatically cracked facade, a drummer playing for no one on a busy corner. A careful look inevitably reveals additional discoveries about the built environment and the human and natural presence that brings it to life. I often find faithfulness to the 'facts' to be inadequate in capturing these scenes in a print. By emphasizing or relocating various elements, I am better able to express the feeling of the scene and my reaction to it.
