‘Blue Swamp Waning’ from the series imaginary wars. c-print in oak frame, 20 x 37 inches
I recently revisited the site where I captured this image in Fort Tilden. It is the same location of MoMA PS1's summer show, Rockaway! featuring several site specific installations and solo projects by Patti Smith, Adrián Villar Rojas, and Janet Cardiff.
I made this image as the sun set behind me and the pooling water created this wonderful reflection. Central to the image is a toy gun, abandoned and floating in the blue swampy water.
I'm thrilled to be included the Magenta Foundation's Flash Forward Tenth. Flash Forward has been awarded to a collection of emerging artists each year and this 4-book set highlights 100 from well over 1,000 awarded photographers.
