Contact Sheet:

The word that I was given to work with was time, so I tried to incorporate it in with as many photos as possible: clocks, decaying fruit, flowers, sunlight, items with wear and tear, etc. I even took a few photos of the spice thyme for a play on words-type of thing.

Artist Statement:

I have always been fascinated with the tactile quality of anything I see. So, my portfolio explores the textures that one encounters on a daily basis in Florida. Most of my images show the textures of subjects close up, sometimes so close that the objects become abstracted. My portfolio is split into four categories of textures with nine photos in each category: indoor, outdoors, food, and people. Indoor textures include bedding, carpets, tiles, walls, and possessions. Outdoors textures include building materials, plants, animals, rocks, and bodies of water. Food textures include snack foods, spices, and cooked meals. People textures include skin, nails, hair, and teeth.
