My first photo sculptures grew out of a reflection of branches I saw on the rear glass of the car in front of me. The gray sky made the car glass into a mirror reflecting the trees overhead. Driving is a transparent print of branches on the rear glass of an old Chevy. Arboretum, Shadow and Dapple are photographic transparencies of tree shadows on Plexiglas. Hanging the photographs at an angle creates a second shadow on the wall, adding an illusion of dimensionality. To transition from flat shadows to curved reflections, I wanted to move into three dimensions. 
 
Forest explores reflections curving with the shape of glass on cars. I wanted to physically bend the image, extending the distortion created by sunlight. This work is an installation of photographic transparencies of tree reflections in Plexiglas tubes. The containers force the two-dimensional prints into three-dimensional sculptures.
