Artist's Statement_

These pieces are created through a darkroom light exposure process using constructed light instruments, each specifically designed to produce a certain quality of light. No negatives are used in their production and all of the images are created in total darkness. Thus everything is made without visual stimulus, but rather from memory or stimuli of the other senses. Each image is a unique RA-4 print (RA-4 is the type of chemistry used to process the photographic paper) which cannot be duplicated in any other image.

Because of the natural human process of associative thinking the viewer cannot help but to try and understand and classify these images into objects or representations that are familiar. As this happens it is important to remember that what is being seen is an aesthetics of light.
