As a photographer living in Worcester, I focus my attention on the relationship shared by a city and the natural state of its land. My aim in doing so has been to reshape a community's definition of landscape by removing the mental boundaries placed between a surrounding countryside and downtown industrial spaces. The resulting blend creates what I consider our 'everyday landscape', one that challenges the viewer to find peacefulness, strength, pride, and beauty within their own living arrangements. A city, like a forest, lives and breathes across endless changes.
Seasons are as visible in a leafless maple tree as they are on a salt covered sidewalk.
Whichever may be our 'everyday landscape', the potential to energizing one's senses is just as great.
