Statement:
Urban Remains represents an exploration of an industrial landscape. It is a journey into photographic abstraction and realism. By comparing direct imagery with more abstract imagery from the same landscape, this project is an attempt to convey to the viewer a more robust definition of an urban environment. While a wider perspective may be an unaltered window into our city, the finer view develops its own context of anonymous urban living.
In bringing this interpretation of the urban environment to the viewer, I sought subject matter that spoke of the relationship shared by a city's landscape and its inhabitants, bringing attention to the places void of their presence yet marked by their passing. It is in these places that we find captured glimpses of a city's tensions in history and presence, solidity and movement.
