Spectrum is s a long-term study of synthetic urban light sources through long exposure: recording frequencies of light mixing with the immediate atmosphere.
A major component of this work is the structure it references and the absence of a horizon. Recording architecture as abstract space neutralizes its social purpose: to organize and control human movement. The sculptural quality of the prints and framing create spatial relationships with human vision, color shift and the world without us; space. Inverse sunsets, lunar and flight paths collide, and sometimes the figure ground reversal is so strong Earth appears to be photographed from space.
Inspired by Chinese woodblock and ink landscape paintings, these works rely on color and tone to create depth: describing the reflective consciousness of the sky blended with the animal quality of landscape.
