My objective is to explore my surroundings and create an adaptation of the world around me onto paper. Photography has allowed me to create new structures and creatures out of existing objects. Constantly observing the environment, my surroundings tend to get stale over time. By creating new visual specimens, I am replacing the ordinary world with a dynamic new species of imagery. The Specimen series allows the viewer to partake in a visual dissection of certain structures. I have photographed manmade objects and produced each piece to take on a new identity. 20 inches X 60 inches Archival Pigment Prints Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin Paper
