I take a picture of almost anything that I come by which has been flattened on the road or in a parking lot. The wheel has rendered a three dimensional object into a two dimensional design. Mundane objects of flotsam and jetsam are reduced (or elevated) to compositions comprised of basic elements: subject, background, color, and light. They become paintings. This is coming from someone who as a child would spend long minutes scrutinizing his food before eating it. As a photographer, my occupation incorporates “seeing”, which sometimes means looking at the world very intently and letting intuition reign without letting conscious thoughts interfere. This disposable eating utensil flattened in a parking lot is one such example.
