On Exhibit

Twelve Quartets
Los Angeles, 1996
Photographs, letter press

"Photographs of paths and places from the Thousand Palms oasis, the monarch butterfly preserve, the gardens of my own neighborhood, the Salton Sea, and a springtime trip to Holland are gathered together in Twelve Quartets. Even in such distinct locations, I found pictures that speak to one another. In fact, I am often looking to make the same picture again and again, like a musician improvising on a theme."
