Topos/Chora revisited...

Today, in continuing with the process of uploading my work to this new website, I finally got around to tackling the PKAP AIR series that I named Topos/Chora.  It is hard to believe that the residency was over 2 years ago already.  And over those years I have created a great number of other series, to the point that past work is quickly left behind under the demands of the MFA program.  So it was a joy to pull out the images again and look at them as old friends that I've not seen in a while.  

Today in viewing them in my home office on the third floor of our apartment building, I look out upon two gloriously green trees (one within feet of my window) and I am struck by the contrast of these greens to the ubiquitous browns of the images.  Often the only islands of color in the images are the buckets or clothing, and even that is scarce when the the khaki team t-shirts are paired with khaki pants.  But even this still suggests my overall conceptual goal of the project as a reflexive perspective of humanity in the landscape.

Over the next few weeks I hope to spend a little time with these images again, and share some thoughts about my favorites.
