Context

An abstract series that echoes the visual language of my drawings, shot on iPhone and edited directly in the Photos app, exploring light, value, rhythm, texture, and form. I photograph whatever catches my eye wherever I happen to be, and the edit carries it far enough that people are surprised to hear what it was. Attention is as much the subject as the surface.

A wedge of bright light cutting across a dark folded surface.
Hand-like marks spread across paving tiles.
Bent stripes drawn into a taut arc.
Dark and light shapes in rippled water, read as flat forms.
Nine pale discs arranged in a grid on black.
A soft white bloom of light opening across a dark field.
Branching dark lines spreading across a mottled surface.
A lamp seen through a wall of textured glass blocks.
A white grid of window mullions broken by one dark row.
A marbled swirl of light and dark, close in.
Broad pale islands in dark water.
A ridged field running back toward a low treeline.
Ridged dunes mirrored into a symmetrical band.
A bright flare beside a rippled, distorted panel.
A narrow band of leaf shadows caught in bright light.
A grid of soft light dots falling diagonally across a wall.
A bright square floating in a swirling moire mesh.
Torn white shapes standing out of a black ground.
Bright cracks running through a dark raised surface.
Crossing bars of a glass roof against a blown-out sky.
Blurred finger-like shapes against a grainy field.
A thin fold of light bending through darkness.
A field of small crescents fading from bright to black.
Streaked ridges of sand in raking light.
