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.
