untitled (ghost composition) Photograph

My current abstract photography and minimal painting works focus on artifacts of our society in urban spaces and natural environments. The images are a documentation of a state in time and as elements with a past, whether forgotten or lost. Edited to diptychs, triptychs or series, they acquire a new layer of meaning, a narrative of associations unique to the viewer. The photographic compositions are influenced by both abstraction and post-minimalism. Rhythm and structure of the image and textural combinations are inspired by concrete reduction, modern poetry, prose fragments and personal observations from nature and urban landscapes. Like visual haiku, and with their painterly beauty, they record the state of the objects around us and remind us of the balance of life, and our place in a larger context, as actors on a changing stage.
