Artist Statement on Round Trip
I have always been fascinated by record covers. I would play a record and stare at the cover while listening. Making a connection between cover and composition. I did not make photographs I made photographs for record covers. Record covers are square, the record is round. The record is the World and the square cover the Universe that engulfs us. I see record covers as Mandalas for listening to the music. When I take these photographs I think of music by the composers with whom I have a kinship. I follow their muse.
