                                                         "Through The Porthole"

Through the porthole I photograph motion and chance. By focusing my camera's lens into the glass windows of washing machines as they cycle, I am able to capture those defining moments when objects and movement meld into captivating visual symmetry.

The chamber of the washing machine with its contents of hand placed objects, transforms into a kaleidoscope producing infinite textures and patterns.

These photographic paintings are studies of order in chaos, beauty in randomness, and surprise in the unexpected.

If my photographs were a symphony the score would be written by John Cage and the conductor would be Georgia O'keefe.
