MAMIYA 7, 80MM, PORTRA 400
I was released from forms,
from the perpendiculars,
straight lines, blocks, boxes, binds
of thought
into the hues, shadings, rises, flowing bends and blends
of sight
— A.R. Ammons
Art, it seems, is in a unique position to postulate whether the world is beautiful or not — or at the very least, whether it makes sense to treat it as such. It suggests a hierarchy of sorts, through the attention given and the attention sought, that this particular arrangement of stuff in the world somehow speaks to the world as a whole. It's a proposition.
Nevertheless was one of the first site-specific projects I've done as a series. It was shot at Floyd Bennett Field in fall of 2012.
