X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>Witnessing Space and Time</strong>
 </p>\n<p><em>Artist Statement:</em></p>\n<p>My art is inspired by a freedo
 m to play that I didn't know as a child stifled by abuse. Architectural li
 nes may seem as unforgiving as the bars of a prison on mind\, body\, and s
 oul.&nbsp\; However\, in finding a different vantage from which to view or
  a different light to shed on the architecture\, my works are witness that
  whatever the circumstance the human spirit\, by God's grace\, may ever ar
 ise in inspiration\, creativity\, and life.</p>\n<p>My black and white doc
 umentary and abstract studies of old\, historic\, often dilapidated archit
 ecture empower you and I to see the minute details of these buildings and 
 our lives. My creative perspective\, vivid texture\, and rich tonality run
  alongside texts of history and story.&nbsp\; I speak my truth to invite a
 ll to share their truth\, making the unknown known.&nbsp\; I witness these
  truths to understand yours and my history\, weaving art with how we think
  feel\, believe\, connect\, and care.</p>\n<p>One of the unknows of photog
 raphy is that its art isn't a mere click of a button. I research subjects 
 and drive and walk many miles.&nbsp\; I often stack\, finding one interest
 ing angle and stabilizing the camera for that exact angle as I take photo 
 zoomed point by point away from me.&nbsp\; I mesh all those layers into on
 e photo for clarity throughout. Then I carefully choose a black and white 
 filter before adjusting sometimes in individual parts in fine points the w
 hite\, black\, shadow\, light\, and so on that suit every part of the subj
 ect.</p>\n<p>Another truth is art is two-sided--the perspective of creator
  and the perspective of viewer.&nbsp\; Many people are afraid to voice the
 ir ideas and feelings about trauma for shame of feeling they did wrong and
  about art for fear of getting it wrong. In both art and trauma\, no voice
  should be bound. Both creator and viewer may be witness to past\, present
 \, and inspiration of future.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\nhttps:/
