My Beach

Artist's Statement

Cameras and the ease with which all of us can create a visual kind of porn is now ubiquitous. But I've been trying to move away from that forced framework of the, as David Hockney called it “Paralyzed Cyclops” and to something more like the experience we have with a place or trip. This is one such example.
