2023 Seeing Anew @ Tomato Head Knoxville

Most of us recently spent a lot more time in familiar places like the Foothills Parkway or Elkmont in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Photographing well-known places over and over again posed the challenge of finding different and less familiar ways of presenting these explorations. Here are some of my solutions for seeing the world anew.

In “Escapes - Colors of the Foothills,” multiple images are layered after applying old-fashioned Photoshop filters. By reducing the complexities of nature to the basic elements of color, shape and form, a different and maybe more peaceful beauty is revealed.

“Wonderland” is a series about Elkmont, combining details and abstracts to capture this complex place. Historical and environmental conservation are changing the landscape but memories seem to linger, creating a strange sense of nostalgia.

“Contemplating Titan” is an accidental project looking at the world through a piece of dismantled supercomputer, because Oak Ridge. It is a low-tech experiment to create virtual vistas and reflect on our dependence on the lens of technology.
