Out of Context represents a milestone in my artistic journey through the realm of architectural photography. It offers a personal vision of architecture which focuses on the graphic beauty of the elements comprising architectural facades and fabrications. The images are the result of being in a state of mindfulness while interacting with whatever structural environment I was working in at the time.
In its ability to abstract and isolate a portion of our visual field, the camera lens makes this furtive aesthetic world more easily accessible. Quite often, it is not until I looked through the lens, that I became fully aware of these visual configurations.
Out of Context presents an abstract interpretation of the man-made world we inhabit. It offers an opportunity to experience the hidden beauty and complexity of the simple and commonplace. The depth and movement of some of the images in the series belie the austerity of their subject matter. Walls, ceilings, doorways and other architectural constructs have been converted into abstract compositions which are reminiscent of the work of modern artists such as Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
