In the exhibition Gone From My Sight: Imperfect Pictures I responded to the question, “What is a Rose?”
A rose holds layered and complex symbolism, making it difficult to define. Roses come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. To define the complexity of rose in a simple data set is not a linear task. Through the photographic process, I pull apart the object rose and separate it into several layers. I then put the rose back together through the process of digitizing and output printing. I process the world through these fragmented perceptions and present imperfect pictures for my viewer to see the intimate essence of experience.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
And that is dying...
