| Artist Statement | |
| A
new series of pinholes begun in Vermont during an artist residency at
the Vermont Studio Center. As I was in Vermont in the Spring and coming
from having lived for many years in urban settings, I was struck by the
the untouched quality of nature in Northern Vermont. As I began to shoot
images, I started to notice a prehistoric quality in some of the photos.
Ultimately, I've tried to work to make the images seem to be like an uncultured
view of the world. That is, without any (or many) preconceptions about
what's important, what's beautiful, what's safe or dangerous. This might
be like the first views of a new born--which just looks without judgement,
without understanding. |
