Paris

ARTIST STATEMENT

This image is from a series called Sailors’ Valentine—an experiment in finding ways to deal with a place photographically, to create an image that is rooted in the actual place but eventually rises above and floats away from it in order to stand for something more fundamental. In this case, I wanted to see what would happen if I mashed up several of my subjective and romantic fascinations, such as space and organization; Paris; things near the water; edges of cities; Roman Polanski’s film Frantic; bright overcast skies, etc.

Strangely enough, I liken the process of these experiments to the chemical reactions in baking—and all the allusions to ingredients and their specific purposes, either practical or gustative, where the effect retains shades of those original ingredients but becomes something new. Ultimately, I’m looking for the image to hit a sort of perfect ambivalent balance—one that asks exactly as much as it tells.
