The Grounds for Sculpture Series began and ended with the inspiration from Edward Steichen’s nighttime photograph of Rodin’s Balzac. This image triggered a desire to produce my own sculpture photography at the Grounds for Sculpture in Trenton, NJ. I latched onto the idea of describing the relationship between the sculptures and their unique surroundings. I have recorded something of this dynamic interaction by focusing on a particular aspect of each sculpture and amplifying it. After months of experimentation with different papers, I finally used a special heavyweight watercolor paper that pushed the imagery even further toward abstraction. And with that push, my imagery reflected back to the abstractions present in Steichen’s original photogravures. Click on the thumbnail icons on the right to view a larger version of each photograph.
