| Artist's Statement: | |
| I make my work by building on and abstracting from source material derived from nature. This process has taken many different forms, from manual cut and paste re-assembling of natural shapes in the mandala series to darkroom layering with the cloud series. My most recent series, which has been produced entirely in Seoul, South Korea, is a straight-shot capturing of fleeting, organic shadows. These works suggest the ephemeral quality of shadow while at the same time referencing the very fleeting existence of the flowers, trees and plants the shadows are cast by.My new series is both a continuation of my process and a natural response to the challenges and possibilities inherent in producing work in Korea. The use of black and white photography has an esthetic relationship to traditional Asian ink painting. The high contrast of the subject matter, black shadows on white paper, results in an image which more closely resembles ink on paper than a conventional photograph. | |
