The Field
2009 - 2012
I created this body of work in response to the adage of photographing close to home. Having grown up in an oil-field town in the Chihuahuan Desert in Southeastern New Mexico, I challenged myself to discover the beauty found within the harsh desert landscape that has been transformed by resource extraction. By removing clutter from the scene, I allow the viewer to focus on the colors, shapes and textures of the various oil field equipment.
