Artistic Statement: Bad Trip – Sad Trip
City Intersection Fence (From the project: In Passing) I have been working on and off on the Artistic Statement for my project Bad Trip - Sad Trip (orignial working title) and I think that I have it finished for the moment.

One where I am in the midst of developing the final images and a couple of projects where I have the raw data and... Continue Reading →
