The photographs in this series explore the abstract form found within the details of industrial subjects. I try to capture the unique relationships between metal, color and form that often go unnoticed. The character of each image is further developed through the light source, cast shadows and weathering. Though the subject matter may change my approach remains the same, to view things from multiple perspectives and find the abstract treasures that are hidden within.
The bamboo I use in my sculpture I cultivated and grew myself. It took approximately 7 years before the grove was ready to harvest, but there is something to be said for patience. I truly enjoy the process of creating art with natural materials and it's even more rewarding since I planted and nurtured it myself.
I prefer to work with natural materials when I sculpt. Every piece of wood or stone has its own unique grain or beauty hidden within waiting to be relaesed.
