Landing Bay 01

Landing Bay 01

Landing Bay 01, 2007

This minimalist serenity of this image is reminiscent of a set from a science-fiction movie. It’s geometric architecture and the fact that light comes from both above and below makes it feel like we are floating in the upper atmosphere, waiting for transport to arrive. The subject for the source image came was a subway stop in Los Angeles.

The Hive

Empty 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.

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point, 2006

Vanishing point started as a photo of a sealed off loading dock of a giant warehouse, in the arts district of downtown Los Angeles. The resulting image disappears far back into the distance, and is reminiscing of artistic perspective, studies, disappearing at a central point on the horizon.

Centerpede

Centerpede, 2022

Centerpede looks like some giant creature crawling around with thousands of legs, observing you with the giant eye positioned in the middle of its anatomy. The source image is simply a fence corner somewhere in Van Nuys, CA, but the red color and in contrast with the blue sky creates a perception of organic complexity.

Diamond House

DIamond House

Diamond House, 2018

This complex construction is reminiscent of many modern buildings in Los Angeles, and was in fact a storefront under construction on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. The interplay of the different shapes made from glass and concrete create the feeling of a complex structure levitating in the atmosphere that could be the future home of today’s billionaires.

The Architect

The Architect

The Architect, 1994

The architect himself is actually a stained glass window designer, combined with Gothic architecture from a building in Cheltenham, UK, as well as a wooden sculpture from a mansion in the same area, and the clear calm waters of the Menai straits, in North Wales. The different elements create an image that comments on man’s mastery over nature, or the divine plan for all of us.

Diety

Diety, 2022

This image was created from a photo of the lobby of a museum in Washington DC. The LED display on the ceiling would randomly change, but at the moment that I took this picture it was floral. When I processed the image, a creature emerged at the end of what looked like an elaborate atrium, suggesting that it was some sort of a supreme being.
