92nd Street Y (92Y) says…

I look for visual metaphors in the landscape. My photographs of dramatic cloud formations, sinuous bodies of water, or sensuous trees and foliage articulate my appreciation for the mystery inherent in our world. I use black and white infrared film because it captures both the visible spectrum and the infrared light that lies beyond what the human eye can see. This medium accentuates the contrast between light and shadow, enhancing our sense of the unknowable and the mysterious and underscoring the limitations of our perceptions. And yet, I continue to explore what I see before me, seeking more information and understanding, even though I realize that this is akin to contemplating infinity—by definition, one can never actually arrive at that point—one can only approach it.
