Artist Statement
By using the popular location of the rock formations near the pier on Mackworth Island in Falmouth as subject matter, the photographs visualize imaginative landscapes by detailing the island’s geology.
Focusing on the micro-ecology of the island, and by transforming the familiar and dramatic coastline into an abstraction of color, texture, pattern, and form, the photographs reimagine a recognizable landscape. The photographs thus transform the overarching space into detailed and abstracted images that reflect personal exploration as an escape from literal reality.
