Statement
I work in the medium of photography, and also run collaborative projects, which can be found at www.artistsunite-ny.org. Taking the lead from painters (Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter), sculptors (Anish Kapoor) and film makers (Andrei Tarkovsky, Ridley Scott) whose work exposes transcendent moments through the use of fields of color, voids, textures and blurred visions, I explore, and de- and reconstruct unique formal qualities in everyday scenes. I look for the moments in which the artist’s perspective on something ordinary opens a connection to what is extraordinary, revealing the “magical” or “true” that separates art from ordinary perception or commercial posing. These moments have required inquiry into questions of time and perception: What is the unity between images grasped sequentially? What is the meaning of still image in a world constantly in motion? Can the artist alter viewers' perception through reinterpretation of the found environment? Can the joint experience of fleeting or shared moments bring formal issues into the realm of social interchange?
