Blended Views uses photographic construction that transforms visible reality into new imagined scenes. This approach reshapes visual content and invites ongoing exploration by the viewer. It begins with real-world observations that evolve into new shapes, patterns, and forms not seen in normal viewing.

London Ages
Tate Modern 1
The first images started with blending four cardinal points. Subsequent images use a more fluid consideration of possible image combinations. Through in-camera layering and compositing, intricate visual designs emerge that engage curiosity. The aim is to create pictures offering depth for long-term exploration—images that encourage the eye and mind to wander and discover new shapes and forms with each viewing.

The two images above appear in the style of the "connections series," incorporating every image from the series into a single print. These compositions form new works with their own distinctive character while preserving the individuality of each image. As collective pieces, they also allow for a broader range of print sizes.
