haiku

18 April to 19 May 2002

"Using the analogy of literature, I like to think of my photographs in terms of haiku poetry rather than literal narrative. In a few words the haiku can suggest an infinity, with the helpful reader filling in the details. In my work I try to supply a setting, an atmosphere and a few prompts. My wish would be to act as a catalyst for the viewer's own imagination to 'finish' the images in their minds."
