ARCHITECTURAL RECORD SERIES

The Los Angeles landscape is the catalyst for my new photographic work, Architectural Record, which investigates the downtown landscape as one would an archeological dig: a virtual unearthing of abstract relationships between surviving buildings and structures. While the images distort the notion of post-modern function, beauty is retained within this landscape of disintegration, as its structural remnants are transformed into a neo-modern aesthetic. Familiar forms: exposed metal sub-straights, textured surfaces, neglected half- painted walls, become new territories of visual discovery. Traces or inscribed marks serve as memory of human intervention on the architectural landscape.

ARCHITECTURAL RECORD SERIES: ITALY

Architectural Record Photographic Series Los Angeles (ARLA) explores the contemporary American landscape, through abstract relationships, while Architectural Record Series Italy (ARI) examines surviving walls, buildings, and metal structures: the physical manifestations, marks, and traces of an ancient civilization worn through time.
Through the siliceous river sand, stone, plaster, and colored dust lies a pure pigment of color emerging from the ruins. What lies beneath is a culture still enduring, and speaking to us through the breathe of its frescoed walls and rusting metal facades. Walking among the ruins, one can see, touch, and sense a great civilization materializing again, pure and majestic.
