This body of work explores our relationship with built environments, culture, and our imagination - and the ways that these three intersect.

Our imagination doesn't exist in a vacuum. We are the product of our culture and our environment - and yet we can also transcend them. Our imaginations can be the seeds to birth new cultures and environments - as Lennon so eloquently put into song.

One aspect of culture that I'm deeply fascinated by is the work of Moholy-Nagy and the Bauhaus: two of the greatest contributors to the birth of Modernist art. The Modernists sought to reinterpret art, creating in ways that reflected relationships to the industrial era and their hopes for a brighter future.

In the images below, I've adhered to Moholy-Nagy's love of extreme closeups, cropped images, and unusual perspectives, but with a contemporary twist, using vibrant color and playground equipment, a nod to the role of play in imagination and creation.

Names of the images are subtle reminders of the qualities of our own imagination and perception - for better or worse. While playful, they are also deeply serious, a reminder of our power and responsibility to create a brighter future.
