I have been making photographs since the 1970s, mostly documenting the coastline, farms, mountains and urban landscapes near my New England home, as well as other parts of the world on travels throughout the United States, Central America, Europe and North Africa. The past three years have drawn me more deeply into abstraction-especially of subjects in nature and architecture.
My eye always been drawn to texture and pattern, to the endurance of things alive in human-made landscapes and the entropy of things human-made against natural backdrops, as well as the unexpected slice of a commonplace scene. An exploration of Miksang, an interpretive form of photography inspired by the teachings of Tibetan meditation master and scholar Chogyam Trungpa, Rimpoche, has fed a more spontaneous and instinctive approach to my work.
