Upcoming Solo Show
Soho Photo Gallery, 15 White Street, NYC. 5/29 – 6/23/24.
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 30, 6 – 8 pm
Red is my favorite color. The silver lining to the city installing dedicated bus lanes on my neighborhood bus route (and taking away my beloved just-around-the-corner bus stop… and LOTS of parking spaces)… is that they painted these lanes red. Granted not as vibrant a red as shown in these images, but a pretty good proximity. Most of these pictures are of their process of painting these lanes, and I’ve included a few other ground surfaces that share the color red.
These images are part of my broader ongoing series of things found on the ground.
Note that these will be larger prints than I’ve done before (with the exception of the long Holga pieces) and printed on fine-art paper.
Most of the subjects in my various “looking down” series are ephemeral in nature… that what I am shooting will likely be gone or changed at any moment. I enjoy the element of chance in my work; I never know what I will find. To me few subjects are out of bounds; what might be considered trash to others is for me an opportunity for self-expression and the surprise of unexpected beauty.
