Title:He Turned His Back
Almost a symbolic gesture by the bald eagle, it suggests he is speaking for all of the natural world in showing his disdain for humans, and the damage we are doing to the world.
Biography:
There is an intriguing aspect to looking beyond the obvious; to capture detail, shape and pattern hidden in plain sight, and to explore its symmetry, light and texture.
The textural component often provokes a desire in viewers to reach out to touch the prints, as though the subject appears almost real, such as with the fur of a lion's mane.
I work to capture not just the subject but also a visual representation of the fleeting emotion I felt at the time the images were captured; encouraging the viewer to experience at least part of that same intangible sensation when they study my work. |
