His Work
LOST SPACES, FOUND GARDENS
2005-ongoing
"These photographs were inspired by my immediate surroundings in Brooklyn and Manhattan; particularly by overgrown spaces that lurk almost everywhere, but that have dropped off the map of collective consciousness. I’m drawn to the surprises that I find here, to the almost subversive thriving of natural life and unusual form.
Paradise is the Persian word for a walled enclosure. As often as not, in the city the walls are cyclone fences crowned with razorwire. Whatever they lack in charm they make up by providing a framed view from the outside. I find solace in the spontaneous gardens behind the fences. And I’m inspired by all the wild things invading them, by the relief they bring from the city’s antiseptic geometry and sheen." -Raphaeloson
