Very nice to see that my series "Interwoven" received Honorable Mention for abstract fine art in the 2017 Tokyo International Foto Awards.
This series creates dreamlike landscapes by combining the human form with multiple organic elements. It continues a concept from an earlier study, “Human-Nature,” which explored the interplay of black and white forms overlaid with details of flowers. Expanding on the use of natural elements to include landscapes and details of nature during times of growth and decay. They are “like the strata of memories. The mirrored surface of water reflects skylight into a hidden hollow, revealing something new, yet familiar. The patterns of leaves or sedimentary rocks naturally suggest intricate tattoos. These compositional layers of elements give the viewer reason to look closer, to see beneath the surface. The interplay between the human form, organic elements, and the landscape create incredible beauty for me, as they are intertwined on earth, coexisting as one. We are of the earth, and how we treat our environment affects all of us.”
