Eighteen large framed prints of images selected from my portfolios. The series titled Signs of Dysfunction, Ineffable Spaces and Curious Surfaces are represented. Seen printed large, these photos convey a richer, more engaging experience than they can when seen smaller on a web page.

Signs of Dysfunction book cover

Book: Signs of Dysfunction

Blank, redacted, broken, rusted, misspelled - dysfunctional signs prominently declare nothing, proclaim nonsense, or subvert the sign-maker's purpose. Only by zeroing in on signs without ostensible meanings can we really see their underlying messages, information our subconscious minds have always gathered beneath our notice.
