Wood Triangle
201430" x 20"Archival pigment print
In Wood Triangle, a piece of dollhouse hardwood floor is cut into the series' slightly off-balance right triangle. This piece is then set on an upside-down photograph of the ocean. Slight wrinkles in the magazine and the hard shadow of the wood play off the implied depth in the water’s waves.
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.
