In this work, the representation provided by the photographs are questioned and is reduced to its essentials. Each image, which is deliberately selected by the photographer, whether it is from an urban scene or a natural terrain, is divided into grids of equal size. The colors rendered in each grid are averaged and reduced into a monochrome. Alleviated of their descriptive role within representational view, the elemental properties of form and color are distilled into a new landscape that can be seen as residing unrevealed in the original photograph. The effect is a liberation of form and color from narrative, without eliminating, in total, its primary relationship to photographic representations of the external world.
