Panoramic Cityscapes

This series focuses on urban industrial architecture - mostly in Japan. The pictures are composed of individual photographs, shot in sequence, and then stitched together. Some are 360 degrees and some are less. Some present a vertical view that includes ground and sky together. I love the poetic relationship presented by making art about the grand qualities of mundane buildings — especially in a large-scale, panoramic format. Layers of history are brought to life in this wide angle of view as the eye compares the relationship of buildings and the spaces between them. The viewer discovers unexpected juxtapositions and whimsical details. Another larger theme in my work explores the nature of human perception and how unusual types of photomechanical reproduction can make us think about our world in a fresh way. A panoramic photo is not “more real” but simply gives a new facet on how to think about how we see.
