As a child, I was fascinated with exploring. Growing up in a small suburban area I would wander through the nearby woods inevitably lasting well through the daylight hours. I grew interested in what I was not able to see at night. Both drawn to, and fearful of, this vast space has led me now to a series of color photographic investigations. This body of work is inspired by these memories.
My color photographs are landscapes at night which incorporate small amounts of description to evoke a sense of abandonment. I photograph desolate areas with minimal information. The locations merge into any town, in any country. I use a plastic camera which is susceptible to distortion and anomalies. Its square format tends to isolate the subject matter in a deep space. My use of color film with long exposures lasting from two seconds to half an hour creates unnatural color shifts. I use the camera as a tool to show what the eye cannot see; revealing a type of camera-vision. I digitally manipulate the colors in my photographs to recall my intuitive memory of the scene, - an image that shows the constant beauty and mystery of the night.
