Remnants

Remnants is an ongoing series of abstract photographs made from markings left behind by others, messages painted on rocks along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The rocks are painted and over-painted and eroded by both human traffic and the weather.

The series, however, is not about place or people – the images (usually larger than life-size) become something more than just a document of the site. By taking them out of context, I have transformed them: aerial photographs, graphic fields of color, ancient cave paintings and iconic symbols emerge. In a way, these photographs are an exploration of a basic human need to leave something behind.

Images are available as 25 x 17" and 36 x 24" pigment prints made in editions of 10 and 5, respectively, for $1000 (small) and $1800 (large).
