Remnants is an ongoing series of abstract photographs made from markings left behind by others, messages painted on rocks along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The rocks are painted and over-painted and eroded by both human traffic and the weather.The series, however, is not about place or people - the images (usually larger than life-size) become something more than just a document of the site. By taking them out of context, I have transformed them: aerial photographs, graphic fields of color, ancient cave paintings and iconic symbols emerge. In a way, these photographs are an exploration of a basic human need to leave something behind.
