Exhibit Description:

This collection of images was created from that which I have photographed
digitally over the past few years; presented for your consideration in black and white as a commentary on contrast, these are the only existing prints of these images, each singularly available as an experiment in detachment.  Each image has been gathered from my personal encounters with charming coincidence.  Contrast speaks of borders and boundaries, which serve multitudes of functions.  They foster controversy, cooperation, and conversation.  Where we place them or determine them to fall creates consequences of our choosing, conscious or otherwise. They offer to amplify our stark differences along with our stunning similarities.  The paths we tread speak of our intentions as well as our innately wondrous nature, our
knowledge and our imagination.  What we choose to uphold and herald, what we choose to abolish and ignore: it is all there in the borders.  Beginnings, endings, pivotal circumstances, conclusions, changes and continuity are available, abundant.  Thank you for looking!
