On the precipice of exchange - #0 Ed. 1 of 5

Art allows us to relate to and understand others, ourselves, and the world.
In this way, perhaps these relationships are truth;
and as artists, we strive to capture a slightest sliver of this truth.
Photography, as an art practice is unique. As an artist working in the medium of photography, the challenge is to capture a photograph which engages with truth.
It’s very easy for a photo of something to be just a photo of something.
I can’t just go inward and take a photograph of what I’m thinking or feeling.
The mechanical constraint is that anything I photograph has to exist within the real world;
so it’s about taking a photograph of an object and making it be more about the photograph of the object than the object itself. The challenge is the make a photograph of something abstract, such as truth.
This work offers viewers a space of contemplation and solitude.
Breathe.
