Line Dance, Tree Ring Patterns, var. 26

My on-going interest in the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi, finding beauty in things that are imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete is at the core of all of my art work. I like to capture the essence of images made of light and movement, images that are infinitely variable. What does the eye see? What does the camera see? What does the mind see?

The Line Dance: Tree Ring Patterns series is an exploration of pattern in natural objects. Looking at the patterns in the tree rings and then the additional patterns created by overlapping and fragmenting the imagery allows me to see things in new ways.

In the end, it is about reflection - whether physical, mental or emotional. It is what I do throughout my work process as well as what I hope viewers do as they look at the completed work.
