Instrument of Mass Distraction Afterwords, 2024

I wanted to revisit the subject and themes of the original Instrument of Mass Distraction, except this time, photographing the vintage Corona Typerwriter on a white background to show more of the inner workings of the machine. The addendum to the original title, ‘Afterwords’  is meant to signify the results of the machine’s use; after words, the world is illuminated, and the mechanics of the instrument are exposed.   As a dyptic, these two instruments can be used to create both lightness and darkness.

One Bedroom Apartment, 2024

This image was taken at a friend’s house and once it was completed, it reminded me of the small studio apartments that are so common in Los Angeles, with no space, no view, and modern architecture that tries to make it palatable.

The Hive

The Hive, 2008

The source for the hive is a photo of the porch from an abandoned house in Northern Virginia. Abandoned buildings are fascinating, because without maintenance nature, encroaches and reclaims what once belonged to it. In this case, the mirroring effect created lots of little insects and other entities, which are actively working to build a home in the abandoned space left by people who, no longer assert their mastery over nature.

Discovery, 1994

This photo of a futuristic conquistador is from early in my career. The background is a photo of marble stairs from the atrium of the World Trade Center, which was then was flipped, mirrored, and combined with a comp of blue buildings and a red sunset, a 3d render of the image mapped onto a sphere and the wooden man is an actual sculpture from a mansion in the UK.
