The environments captured here challenge the viewer through their starkness and desolation. At once alienating and compelling, the motel settings also imply the clandestine, the nefarious. I impose order upon these settings by giving the viewer visual direction. Windows, doors and curtains point to the inevitability of departure and to the existence of an outside world, while sources of light offer a reminder of the possibility of escape.
Abstraction further allows for compositional purity.
Through these images, the inadvertent beauty of the motel interior unfolds.
