:: All works combine my photos/text with satellite and other imagery from the Internet. I am particularly interested in combining or juxtaposing the perspective of the earth from outer space, against or alongside
the normal, human-scale perspective that most photos are taken from--that is, 1 to 2 meters above ground level.
The texts and/or titles provide clues to the concepts, metaphors or ideas that stimulate the works:
Such as imagining the last views of earth in the Pope's eyes on the day he died.
Or portraying the history of the US Blockade of Cuba in terms of the weather. In this series I renamed a hurricane
for each of the ten US presidents who have participated in this horrible, inhuman action.
In the "Chant..." piece I combined a visual manipulation of the Buddhist phrase "aum mane padme hum," and
everyone who downloads the image turns the cycling or operation of their computer into a prayer wheel.
