Interstices

n. pl. in·ter·stic·es (-st -s z , -s z)A space, especially a small or narrow one, between things or parts: “There is a gleam of luminous gold, where the sinking western sun has found a first direct interstice in the clouds” (John Fowles). 

This series of photographs is a study of interstices. It is, therefore, a study of relationships. Within each image, forms are broken, divided. The spaces created by these divisions are irregular and forever changing, resulting in a shifting relationship of one part of an object to another part of itself. A focus on these interstices also reveals an intrinsic accord from one image to the next, defying scale, material and origin. Such disparate things as wood and stone, metal and shell, sand and fabric can ally themselves with the aid of light, wind and water.
