‘There is something existential in this observational detachment and improvisation, located somewhere between Zen and jazz. All of this is filtered through an internalized vocabulary of the medium and with a highly developed understanding of what happens when an observation in three-dimensional reality is rendered through a lens on the industrial, metallic surface of the two-dimensional black-and-white photographic print.’
