ARTISTIC STATEMENT

My photos that I call "SurPhotography "once started with trash, debris, of what people have tossed away, and the visual experience developed from the origin, but now it mainly starts with flowers. I seek to discover the insect's vision of the flower, the mystic flower, the flower as a spiritual force.

 

 

   
           
     

 

My obsession is to see what is not ordinarily seen in the seen
And develop the origin into what has never been seen before--a type
Of terrestrial illumination derived from empirical perception that expands
Into the phenomenal and a this-worldly, spatio-temporal mysticism.
Also being a poet, I avoid reference to the literal and do not want my photos
To be conceptualized.  My photo should be experience as visual communication and not mimetic representations of a familiar, common-sense reality, a reality that in my philosophy is false.
