I chose the Angel Trumpet flower (Brugmansia) as a metaphor for the dances of the 20th century pioneer of modern dance, Martha Graham. These blossoms echoed Martha's use of full and tubular skirts, as well as unusual movements and intimate, sensual energy. Her early works in the 30's and 40's were set against spare backgrounds, using simple abstract props and were photographed in B&W, thus my choice for this series.

Lives in San Diego,
Current area of focus and interest is contemporary architecture in its many forms, with a concentration on the abstract, seeking to highlight light, patterns, mood, elegance and the dramatic.
