In Urban Geometry & Color, I explore the abstract possibilities of everyday architecture. Buildings, walls, windows, doors, fences, and other structures become arrangements of color, line, proportion, and geometric form through observation and careful framing.
Through careful observation and framing, familiar surroundings take on qualities associated with geometric abstraction, hard-edge painting, and Minimalism. Architectural elements are transformed from functional structures into relationships of shape, proportion, and color, sometimes approaching the appearance of abstract paintings.
While these photographs depict real places, their primary interest lies not in documenting the buildings themselves, but in discovering the visual order, tension, and occasional incongruity hidden within ordinary environments.
Unlike Found Abstractions, where the compositions arise primarily from alterations to existing surfaces, these photographs discover abstraction in the organization of the built environment itself. Familiar structures become visual compositions that often recall geometric abstraction, hard-edge painting, and Minimalism.
