Sturctures

In the series "Structures," I explore the use of light in creating abstract photography. My subjects are skeletal-like objects, including arbors, paddle wheels, and wheel rakes, high-tone objects with clearly delineated lines and patterns. Adjusting the shape and position of paper negatives inside lensless cameras and changing the camera’s tilt and angle of view radically alter how phenomena get encoded onto paper surfaces. Where our eyes’ physiology causes us to see light reflecting off objects in one particular way, lensless cameras enable us to see unseen sites—infinite depths of field and light waves that appear to bend and refract in untypical ways.
