The "Glory of Commerce" sculptural group, atop the Grand Central Terminal facade, stands watch in contrapposto (English: counterpoise) over this lively viaduct intersection, midtown Manhattan. The counterpoise tension can be found in opposing architectural styles -- Beaux-Arts; contemporary glass and steel -- as well as varied transportation -- pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, rail. The composition itself is halved by style and century: a contrapposto split down the middle reveals the spirit of the 19th century [right] reflected in the window of our 21st [left]. "Library Way" can be seen laterally, leading crosstown to Grand Central's analagous Beaux-Arts structure, The New York Public Library. From the series, “Mono New York” — monochrome impressions of New York City. Fleeting glimpses capture movement and stillness, often combined. This series takes a conceptual cue from the Japanese “Mono No Aware”: Mono no aware (物の哀れ), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life. Edition of 6 + 1 A/P and 1 P/P. Printed exclusively for the artist by Brooklyn Editions' Master Printmaker, New York City. Hahnemühle Photo Silk Baryta 310 gsm, with Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity. Archival pigment inks printed with Epson P20000.

PRÉCIS + PROCESS + PAST-PRESENT: PRÉCIS: Light continuously shifts and suffuses. Never quite known, light occasions fresh perspectives for the attentive eye. Photography for me inhabits a space somewhere between poetry and motion picture film, my primary areas of advanced training. INSPIRATION: As many of my recent photos were taken in New York, I sometimes reflect upon the wisdom of gifted New York photographer, Saul Leiter. Leiter suggests, "there are things that are out in the open, and there are things that are hidden, and life has more to do, the real world has to do, with the things that are hidden. You think?" I offer my recent work in a spirit of discovery, a search for "the things that are hidden." PRINTMAKING PROCESS: Signature editions printed exclusively for the artist by Brooklyn Editions' Master Printmaker, New York City. PAST-PRESENT: I grew up as an artist, and gradually branched into other media. Crossing boundaries and investigating form naturally extend my creative and writerly output. Earlier, I worked on aesthetics with late philosopher Jean-François Lyotard. Temporal and phase transitions -- chemical, Kantian, disjunctive -- and a delight in the process of naming inform and inflect my work. ARTIST SITE: "Occasional Light":
