Sand, Gravel, and Stone Series Artist Statement: Earth excavations, water reservoirs, intricate equipment, steel assemblies, and sunlight’s variations all suggest a beautiful industrialized space. I photograph factories and quarries in an elegant, harmonious manner that deters attention from preconceived notions about the negative impact of industrial processes. Simultaneously my photographs reveal calm amidst an ominous mood. There is poetry, a certain romanticism and a sense of awe that I experience in these places.
