Much of the inspiration for my photography comes from artists working in mediums other than photography—especially Modernist painters, Surrealists, Dada and conceptual artists—whose works have suggested possibilities for expanding my vision and provided a reference for my visual ideas. My primary art concerns have long been:
• to make pictures that cohere into compact but complete visual ideas
• to work through particular visual ideas in a series of pictures
• to develop series of pictures that hang together as a sort of literary description of objects, places and thoughts.
My way of doing this is to apply the methods of each series to particular motifs including landscape, architecture, vernacular subjects, sexual imagery, portraits of family and friends, the happenstance of chance encounters, artworks by other artists, color, and the photographic process itself.
