Prospect Park #2

ARTIST STATEMENT

In addition to specific projects, I pursue a variety of urban landscape studies around New York City. Yet, after several years of this, I realize I’m barely scratching the surface. Just when I think I’ve got a handle on capturing these famously gritty streets, I turn a corner and realize just how infinitely deep and rich this town really is.

My snowstorm images of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park are cases in point. At first glance, they might be mistaken for wilderness landscapes. Then, lamps lining a path come into focus, and faint hints of distant benches. Tiny details emerge and wilderness trekkers become a dog walker or a couple on a park hike. New York City proves to be as hard to pin down as ever. Even when I’m the middle of other projects, exploring other ideas and subjects, the promise of discoveries like these send me back out into the city to try to nudge it into revealing itself again.
