| Since moving to Chicago in the late 1980's, the elevated train has intrigued me as an extraordinary physical presence in the urban landscape. My recent artistic interests concerned night and evening photography...and a reflection upon architecture and the urban plan. The inclination to incorporate the elevated train in my work was a natural extension of those interests. The impulse to repeat and | mirror the image camefrom a desire to emphasize and extend the horizontal aspect of the train and surrounding landscape. This type of manipulation references digital media's ability to endlessly replicate itself. Mirrored symmetry creates a variety of odd visual phenomenon within the image and I'm fascinated by our affinity to and rejection of, the symmetrical as well as what the human brain perceives when faced with such visual information. |
