About the Art

I can't know what this artwork could mean to you, my viewer, I just know that, to me, it is the culmination of a lifetime of creativity, and the best place for my energies in these tumultuous times. I keep trying to verbalize my latest excursion in artful photographic transformations, finding the right words is a challenge… I have now, just come to the conclusion that I am trying to use words, where none can describe what the real meaning behind what I do is. So the way I feel my art (and likely, all art) needs to be appreciated, is through feelings. All I can really know for sure about it, is how I feel or, more likely how each piece makes me feel as I create it and when it is done. If I am not moved by a piece, you will not see it. I have given titles and description to each work. Yet, those words are basically a stream of consciousness from me to express how I feel, mostly in ways that are more poetic than literal. The important question to me is: How does it make you feel.

Then there is the task of categorizing my work for you, to help you find what might appeal to you. It’s a kind of organization that is simple and yet confusing. My processes to take the photographs, process them, edit them, rework and interpret them into pieces that speak to me, defies categorization. Yet, I see my interests lie between the concept of the stresses we feel in life and what is important to us to help us recuperate from the stresses, and many things in-between. The stress and the relaxation pieces are easy to find, the others, I think, are work that are mostly individual takes on the world around us. But, landscape, architectural interior, exterior, portrait, corporate, industrial and others, are categories that are from my past. I don’t see things like that these days. That is the joy, I feel in creation now… something not easily characterized, but, in that honesty, I’m trying to achieve, united by a style of my own and emotional, and sometimes thoughtful expression, I hope to find the flow of my work.
