Manhattan and its marriage to media driven messages is the focus of this work. Billboards are juxtaposed with buildings, city streets, and a variety of serendipitous things that are a part of the urban landscape. In these photographs a new view or ”scape” emerges that is intended to confront and puzzle our perception. They speak of their power to create an alternate reality by saturating our visual field with objects of our materialism.
At the heart of my photographic work over the past fifteen years has been my fascination with Manhattan’s cityscape, and its constant evolution. Between 2003 and 2009 I had 3 solo exhibitions at OK Harris Works of Art, entitled, Mecca or Madness, Billscapes, and Deconstruction. My cityscapes have received recognition through national and international juried competition, and through public and private acquisition. In 2010, I was honored by the Aaron Siskind Foundation with an IPF Fellowship for my body of work, entitled, Billscapes.
