Specimens 

This work presents visual textures, overlooked detail, gestural line, and beauty (including beauty in decay). Specimens is an ongoing series arising from things I find by happenstance. Although these are undeniably recognizable things, behind the specificity of the image their meaning remains ambiguous when presented out of context and in an unnatural scale. While most of my work over the past six or eight years has been abstract, I find that exploring depictions of “reality” continues to hold mystery.
