Film Gallery: Lines

These are macro shots combined with a photographic process called cross-processing; it results in a highly saturated, high-contrast print. This technique lets me explore extremes of color and texture. The saturation levels bring intensity to the work while the high contrast emphasizes the dichotomy of bright and dark, positive and negative.

The process parallels the conceptual basis of my work. I am attracted to polar opposites. Lines is my fascination with the richness of a surface in the process of decay. The abstraction of object via the photographic process allows me to focus on its beauty despite the true reality of its existence. I am intrigued at how the separate states of love and hate, beauty and ugliness, right and wrong, while being contrary, will often meld and cross boundaries based on subjective interpretation.
