Ships in a Crate
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time climbing around construction sites in the rain, searching for rusted metal sheets and corroding pipes that might yield hidden images under their unassuming surfaces. This was one of many huge steel girders left to rust in a yard south of Seattle. Wherever it ended up being used, I'm glad I captured this bizarre little spelunking scene before it got hauled off. It reminds me of the side-scrolling video games I used to play in the 1980's; entrancing, and more than a little foreboding. ***** Canvases of this size I prefer to ship unstretched so everyone can save a bit of money and effort. The dimension listed is the image size, and there is an additional 3-inch black border that allows for stretching or framing once received by the buyer. Every piece is signed, dated, and numbered by the artist, and each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity for good measure.

Some people are startled when they realize my pieces aren't paintings, and though my goal isn't necessarily to fool anyone, I love that much of my work has a painterly quality, because that means I've been successful in taking an unremarkable object or surface, like a scrap of rusted metal or corroding section of pipe, and giving it an unexpected new and colorful life--and perhaps a bit of immortality. ***** I grew up in Southern California, and I graduated from UCLA in 1993. I had parents who were professors of photography and art history, so the absorption and appreciation of art (however subconscious) while growing up just came with the territory. As an adult living in Los Angeles, I indulged my creative and aesthetic impulses by working as a film & television makeup artist. On set and off, my camera was never far from my side, and I always took a lot of snapshots, but the thought of making art with my camera hadn't yet occurred to me. In 2003, I took a road trip to Seattle, fell instantly in love with the climate and the city itself, and moved here permanently less than two months later. Something about the way the climate of the Pacific Northwest affects the deterioration of industrial materials intrigued me and inspired me to begin taking photos of my new surroundings with a much more thoughtful eye than ever before. In the years since the move to Seattle, the urge to photograph the city has focused itself from the Big Picture to the Fairly Small, and it was that shift in perspective--and the striking images it produced--that inspired me to pursue my take on fine art photography in earnest.
