These photographs are part of a series of ektacolor prints taken in Mexico. As a photographer, I am very much concerned with the formal qualities of my photographs – space, line, composition and color. I think that color represents the most important aspect of my work. In this group of photographs, I have focused on structures as components of the whole within the limitation of the square format. I believe photography is the ability of the photographer to recreate his subject matter in its basic reality and to present this reality as a photographic print.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
