I love the concept of simplicity and form in
photography, particularly when the
final product has qualities of the abstract. The standard definition of abstract in
the world of art is to make reality unrecognizable.
A broader concept might
be to represent the subject, not as unrecognizable,
but simply in a non-literal
manner. Even though I know that many of my waking hours are spent outdoors, I am
always surprised that the natural world pulls me so
strongly in my work. This
project follows that propensity.
After experimenting with different views of water as
subject, my project came
together while walking in the woods one frosty
morning in November.
From there it was a simple step to becoming
conscious to the myriad patterns in
nature and to photographing some that might easily go
unnoticed and soon
disappear.
In case you are wondering--these are all patterns in ice, taken on two separate days. They no longer exist except in my photos!
