Artist Statement

Refined Resurgence explores progress and beauty in two contexts: South Portland’s petroleum tanks and the expanding cityscape of the Portland peninsula. With these photographs my hope is to provide a new way to view these familiar mundane environments that many consider eyesores – perhaps to provoke the viewer to see beauty and art in their own lives and environment.

The photographs were created during a two-year period beginning in the summer of 2019. I lived in Portland for 16 years and was witnessing the transformation of the peninsula and was compelled to document the rapid changes. The last day of 2019, I moved to South Portland into my first home which led me to photographing the tanks. I had always been intrigued how the tanks blended into the landscape creating a unique juxtaposition of the tanks amongst schools and residential neighborhoods.

The photographs are available for purchase on aluminum or as archival prints

Aluminum Prints

The photographs are printed on aluminum through the process of dye sublimation. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The mid-gloss print surface provides intense vibrant colors and detail with a reduced glare surface. A 3/4″ inset frame on the back of each photograph creates the appearance the image is floating away from the wall when hung. Each print features a wire hangar making the installation process simple.

Like all photographs, the prints need to avoid constant direct sunlight. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily with water. It is recommended to use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe off the print.
