EARTH
This series shares my perspective of the world by documenting the environment around us. The pronounced contrast of the natural environment against the starkness of man-made world is of particular interest to me. Having a bird's eye view enables me to document this contrast and use the landscape as a means of abstraction.
By eliminating the sky, horizon lines, and other normal points of reference; it helps me focus solely on the earth's colors and textures. Meticulously constructed areas are viewed from above, with a focus on clean simple form and often man made dividing lines. Earth highlights the banality and order of the suburban environment, while showing the subtle beauty of the natural world from the air.
