Metamorphic Landscapes

The landscape is not static-- it is alive and fluid, in a constant state of flux. These photographs explore the metamorphic nature of the landscape by depicting states in change and by blurring the distinctions between conditions which we generally consider to be opposites. This work illustrates the transitioning nature of the elemental relationships of earth, fire, water, and air, of stillness and motion, and of night and day.

Currency

This series consists of black and white photographic portraits of the Presidents of the United States who have been memorialized on U.S. currency. The source materials are old coins and bills, some magnified as much as 3500%. All traces of context (numbers, words and edges) are obscured in shadow.
