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.
