The urban tapestry is a backdrop for so much of our
lives yet it is overlooked as a means of sociological reflection outside
of architectural and art circles. The jumble of decay and construction,
melding of forms and function, lavish ornamentation, refined minimalism,
rigid infrastructure, and so on, are activated when abstracted. These
built elements within our lives are created by humans and for humans,
a manmade superstructure that has a natural order.
What we can see becomes clearer in fractured narratives.
It is given more distance through the broken frame and a cadence from
the vertical lines. People too can be seen inside the framework of this
technique. They are not immune to the repetitive doubling and overlapping
of the film.
I would like this kind of imagery to reveal an aesthetic
and introspective view of the transient spaces in our lives. Perhaps
the best result is when the lines disappear and the subject comes through
out of the commotion.
