“Overview-Houses”

ARTIST STATEMENT

Photographing everyday objects from an unusual vantage point throws off our sense of reality. I enjoy the way it plays with our sense of scale. In this case the homes made me think of game pieces from Monopoly and provides the abstract quality I am so often drawn to. This photograph is part of an ongoing series of aerial photographs exploring the graphic shapes of our world that covertly surrounds us.
