Fabric and Triangle Squared
201425" x 25"Archival pigment print
I created a still life of an imitation-wood triangle leaning against a heavily patterned backdrop. After printing the photograph, I cut out part of the picture and glued it onto a 3-D foam core cube. I then put the cube on top of the original picture, and rephotographed it. The result is spatially ambiguous.
An Exercise in Formal Composition
This series, An Exercise in Formal Composition, presents nearly identical compositions in different methods of execution, playing with photography’s in-camera ability to flatten, layer, and replicate. Each iteration is constructed around a different slightly off-balance right triangle (A: 34.992° / B: 55.008° / C: 90°). Unlike circles or rectangles or even equilateral triangles, which can naturally occur or are staples of architecture, this specific triangular shape is easily recognized as being a deliberate artistic intervention in each given situation.
