walls / surface
Surfaces - flat, curved, smooth, textured - even though solid, are capable of warping reality in unexpected ways. A wall is a canvas beckoning art, a magnet for light, shadow, paint, plant, and a myriad of forces that leave an imprint. The photographer lifts the image and projects it to his audience, translating the ephemeral into a picture of beauty, intent, wit, meaning, emotion.
