1974-79
Interested in the oscillating forms and relevancy of the modern landscape, I deviated from illuminating the traditional Western landscape, focusing instead on the tangible forces of change: the developing urban sprawl as it branched into, over, and through the land. Focusing on the formal qualities of the overlooked and the banal, I drew upon the expressions of modulated light that abstract and inform space, opening these otherwise mundane views into cause for reverie and contemplation.
