]]> Tide is an examination of human presence in various locales. The images reflect a subjective experience of places and allow for a simultaneous perception of different moments in time.
This play with the space-time continuum shows the ebb and flow of people in specific locations. Individual bodies become less distinct and merge with others. The technique of layering still images allows past, present and future moments to appear simultaneously, reflecting the notion that each moment in time is a construct of our memories, our presence and our projections. The disappearing physicality of the figures allows this synchronism to take place, and invites a manifestation of the metaphysical. The locations included in Tide are places of transit and momentary rest.

]]> In March 1994 I decided to set aside $100 and donate $1 to each person who asked me for change in the streets of New York City. In return, I asked for the permission to take a picture. 81 of 100 people agreed. The portraits raise issues of shelter, nomadism, snapshot photography. human interaction, walking and the urban landscape.
The resulting installation consisted of framed portraits, postcard versions of the portraits, a map of Manhattan, wallpaper depicting one dollar consumer products, diary pages and a donation box.
