Trees

Trees embody beauty, truth, and quiet value. Rooted yet reaching, they balance strength and grace.  They reveal time's slow rhythm and and life's patient unfolding.  Giving shade, air, and shelter, they ask nothing in return.  In their presence, we remember: growth requires roots, and what endures often grows silently beyond our notice.

America's Drive-Thru Culture

In no other country or culture do people routinely use drive-thrus for the management of such daily necessities as food, medicines, clothing, automobile maintenance and the like. The drive-thru is a distinctive feature of not only American  car culture. but of America itself.  Drive-thru behavior has become so pervasive and commonplace that it is easy to lose sight of just how unusual it is.  These photos are shot mainly at night to bring to consciousness the uniqueness of the American drive-thru culture

Exploring Digital Creativity

My digital art is a product of my reflections on self and society in the digital age and Jungian psychoanalytic theory. In the knowledge society, the self is increasingly a digital and digitized self. Art serves more and more as a means of self-formation and affirmation, and ever greater numbers of people engage in and practice it. In each piece, the circles represent our multiple selves which express themselves day-to-day in various ways (colors, sizes, and shapes). In the digital age, where reality is increasingly made of signs and symbols, our selves, always struggling for self-realization, are continually confronted, challenged and blocked by various obstacles, themselves often signs and symbols, which I represent with rectangular and triangular forms. At the same time, however, our selves are also continually faced with opportunities which we often achieve only partially and with compromise. But even in the moments when we are free, empowered and self-realized (represented by the full expression of the circular forms) we still find ourselves defined by (and against) the very things (forms, colors and backgrounds) we have managed to overcome.
