I began working on these images in the 1980’s. They were originally done as a series of surreal, black and white photographs printed on translucent acetate and backed by chrome Mylar. I used arrangements of unconventional objects and regarded the setups as small theater pieces related more to assemblage constructions than to the traditional still life.

Those works were essentially about the nature of perception and how being habituated to the familiar. These newer works are more surreal and structurally complex than the first, with the addition of color and digitally fabricated shapes as essential components.

These  images are intentionally political and also about the nature of  perception; the casual and often irreversible damage we do to the  planet that supports us; about the insanity of war and the endlessly unchallenged power of the international arms industry.
