This piece is an amalgamation of 8 photos venerating a shrine to human achievement.
The graceful lines and unwavering textures of the whole site are still as sharp as they were nearly 50 years ago.
It's never unwelcoming, but you can tell that it knows you're in awe of it.
A timeless memorial to all the moments that can only be made when you leave everything on the field.
Moments and concrete.

While looking at photos of jewels for in the Smithsonian Museum's Open Access Collection, I came across a beautiful and strikingly grotesque collection of goldsmithing designs. I was honestly aghast at some of the cherubic imagery, and my thoughts turned to the people in those careless, rudimentary supply chains, and how their story echoes throughout time into the present.
This piece, stolen wholesale from a 16th-century book of designs for goldsmiths and jewelers, is dedicated to the countless lives lost to the global slave trade throughout history, as well as to the millions of people who are currently enslaved worldwide.
The dark, depraved souls who benefit directly from forced and child labor are closer than you think. Put on a brave face and fight back.
60% of proceeds from the sale of this piece are set aside for the Abolish Slavery National Network, a group of slavery abolitionists fighting for full, constitutional, protection from slavery at the state and federal level.

One of the most enlightening things about my trip to Peru was my expectation of drinking cup after cup of delicious espresso being dashed by the capitalistic realities of exportation of the best product for the most profit, leaving me and the rest of the nation's inhabitants to rely largely on instant coffee. There's still coffee around, but learning this on the morning of my first day set an informative tone for the rest of my stay.

If you've seen more of my work, you'll notice hints of a sports fan, something that was instilled in me from a young age. In my reckoning, sports venues are one of the only a places in the world with a community bond that transcends all other identity and belief structures, and I make it a point to see as much of it as I can when I travel. This is a scene from Estadio Monumental U as Club Universitario de Deportes takes on a league rival.

If you go to Lima, there's an ACTUAL PYRAMID called Huaca Pucllana in the middle of a starkly urban and modern downtown. It's incredible. This is my interpretation of the sun on the adobitos on my hike to the top of it.
Actually, I misspoke, it's there whether you go to Lima or not, but if you go to Lima, you can see it, and you should.

Last spring, I noticed the full moon through the sparse buds of a cherry tree in my neighborhood.

Of all the concepts that tend to guide or underpin my artwork, the closest to a through line or "grand unifying theory" is Time Geography. It's all just a fancy way of saying none of us exists in a vacuum. The things in my photos, the camera itself, the plane that took me to Texas; my art simply could not exist without the billions of lives that existed before and alongside me. I think that's pretty cool.
This piece is an amalgamation of 16 photos taken over a multi-year period in Dallas, Texas. It contains elements of technological advance, civil engineering, centuries of architecture, interior design, and the artwork of Harry Bertoia and Camille Pisarro, whose works were on display concurrently in two different Dallas museums. Coincidentally, Pisarro's featured piece (from 1902, titled "The Fish Market, Dieppe: Grey Weather, Morning") touches on these same themes, though mine reimagines it with the focus on technology, rather than obscuring or omitting it for visual niceness.

Something fascinating and yet horribly frustrating about being an artist is that your mastery of your ability to express yourself ultimately, your art itself — is a function of mastering your tools. Whether it's a brush, a camera, a chainsaw, a program on a computer, or even a whole self ... and sometimes you accumulate so much beautiful raw material waiting for your abilities to rival your vision for its potential.
This piece an amalgamation of only three photos portraying the magnificence of Zion National Park. This hillside at the east entrance is just a fraction of a fraction of the awe-inspiring landscape out there, and imposed against the fleeting insignificance of a frozen puddle on a trail near my house, it's a reminder that even the most enduring structures can be augmented, even bent to our will in a way —how on a planetary scale, even the concept of "permanent" is very relative, if not a little silly altogether?

There are challenges to being an artist that I cherish. Usually it's applying new techniques to existing forms, but you can learn a lot by applying new material to existing rules and structures.

Such an incredible city. Centuries of texture and history and heat and light. Surrounded at all times by stunning feats of engineering and artistry all hiding in plain sight.
