Artist Statement: Exploration of line has been the drive behind my work. I follow linerather than image-- toward the simple grouping of the texture of line. This usually leads me to sensual and detailed abstractionsoften natural, yet urban. A subject will reveal itself in an unplanned way and everything else must stop until the image has been seen in the way it seems to demand to be seen. My goal is to follow the line in an image to the silence which can sometimes result. This work, Canal Grass comes from a series taken on the Nivernais canal in France. The canal surface, edges and associated life forms provided unique opportunities to capture phenomenally unusual groupings of lines. Most of my impressions are captured here in the Bay Area and in Northern Europe, in my process of traveling between and photographing each place, while remaining a San Francisco-based artist.
