Images in this series offer a visual parallel to some musical techniques. Fugues, theme & variations, multipart vocals, complex chords, and stacked melodies & rhythms work together to create new and intricate compositions. |

Using a single scene, I take multiple images from different views, which are then blended to create something new and more complex. This process is very exciting because sometimes I get a wonderful image, and other times a total failure. The more I experiment, the better I become at predicting the outcome of any individual scene. |

The final images are an ongoing source of enjoyment for me. With each viewing, I discover new shapes, densities, and subtle elements that deepen the visual experience. In most of my earlier series, density & complexity were found in a single frame by moving in very close to the object. In this series, I have moved back so that others can recognize elements, but I have also increased the density & complexity of the image with multiple views. Along with recognizable elements, I hope you will enjoy the density & complexity of elements that you may not recognize. |
