Rome is an amazing place. I’m grateful to the jurors at Roma Fotografia who selected my image “The Mission” for a group show about people at the Bresciani Visual Art Gallery in early June. The jurors awarded the image 1st prize and held a solo exhibition of ten of my urban portraits in mid-August projected at Piazza di Santa Maria in Trastevere.
The judges said of The Mission: “It is innovative, it recalls the web, the graphic dynamics of youth, red and then that lost but not anxious look of those who surf in the dark but with courage.”
The Mission is from my new series Re-envisioning. The work features portraits of young adults at night in San Francisco. Inspired by the principles of circular design, the composites remix my photographic work in areas such as street, textures, abstracts, and portraits, to express my cumulative and evolving perspective on the urban experience. Evolving is everything, although what I’d really like is a Jerusalem artichoke and a plate of pasta in Trastevere.
