Woman in Black with Briefcase - Limited Edition of 25 Photograph

I am a photographer with a conceptual bent. I presently live in San Diego; prior to that I lived and made work in New York City. My artistic goal is to challenge conventional notions of what photography is - both conceptually and in it physical manifestation. My photo work crosses many genres: it has ranged from portraiture to still life to landscape to street work to documentary projects. Many of my exhibitions take place in the public spaces and make use of materials and locations typically ignored by art or reserved for commercial advertisements. For example, I installed my New York City installation of my Neighbors portrait project on 1/4 mile of fencing outside a park in Lower Manhattan. For my Anchorage Museum installation, my art occupied an inner gallery, the facade of the glass building and a location in the community. With my still life work, I often explore the boundaries of how three dimensional objects may be realized in two-dimensional photographic form. Underlying my work you'll often find a conceptual foundation that drives the visual content. With my False Idol Worship series I examine some of the objects of worship within our culture. While in my Black Bottles series, I address the impact of another person's alcoholism in my life. My work has been exhibited in museums, galleries and public spaces across the USA. If you're ever in San Diego, you're welcome to contact me about a studio visit.
