Inkblot 3

Inspired by traditional Chinese ink paintings, the Inkblot series examines the way that we view overlooked environmental subjects such as raindrops gently falling onto a reflective surface, stripping them down to their foundational forms of light. Exploring time as defined by these delicate, incremental changes to organic forms allows us to isolate the feeling and atmosphere of each individual moment.

Printed on a thicker 310 gsm Hahnemühle paper used traditionally for watercolor, the textural quality of the paper references early ink paintings and brings out the dimensionality of each piece.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with commonplace subjects.
