Adjacency Finding commonality between all things is my aim. I forage, arrange and photograph abandoned objects. I place these objects in a studio setting and assess the resulting shots. The images suggest various cultural, psychological conditions as well as relationships between people. I like to construct a combination of items which can generate distinctive images. It's nice to engage the details to spawn new meanings. At a larger scale, unearthed subtleties reveal a viewer's association to those attributes. Man- or machine- made things join together to make the picture more interesting. Manufactured items seem to resemble humans and Mankinds’ issues appear mechanical. These objects are a human story of how years of work have rendered them back to their original elements. Like machines, Mans' efforts wear or deepen over time. The involvement to make and define progress helps him find what he is looking to achieve.
