Artists Statement

The photos in this series are examples of light’s own graffiti. I refer to these light marks—the opposite of shadow—as “lightow.” The lightows are fleeting, dependent on weather and time of day. These bold tags go largely unnoticed by the passersby. But in the built environment, Nature still shows its upper hand; its ability to alter the landscape.
