Artist Statement
Since 2006, I have been photographing water scenes in a small, urban creek near my home in Maryland. Wading into the creek, I walk about or just sit on a shower stool, looking for the interplay of light and water, the reflections of skies and trees, floating leaves and waving grasses.
Light interacts with the creek’s currents and flotsam in beautiful, and sometimes lurid or bizarre ways. My photographs are tight compositions that use these reflections and refractions not simply as mirrors, but as devices to explore this interplay.
Having left their trees, the autumn leaves in this photo have another chance at ephemeral glory. Subtle afternoon light and deep shadows create a sense of solitude and peace, reminding me of the chiaroscuro paintings of Rembrandt.
