Statement
My work for the current proposed exhibit aims to reflect the character, energy, and rhythm of street life at various locations throughout Bangkok, Thailand. The work represents digitally abstracted photographs taken on recent trips to Thailand between 2022 and 2023. Regardless of the medium I avoid literal representations and tend to employ modest abstraction with saturated colors, and aim to capture unscripted figurative compositions featuring a fair degree of angular tension. I am particularly drawn to raw street scenes as they are ever changing and offer the opportunity to see diverse groups engaging in an often-fascinating light. Captured at the right moment street scenes can resonate an irresistible energy, movement, and rhythm.
