“Your work both as a printer and photographer are consistently of high quality.”
ARTIST STATEMENT
My photographs are based on the creation of an altered sense of reality; an amalgamation of representation and abstraction occurs to reframe our concepts of consciousness and perception of the world around us. I am not interested in what is in front of me, but in what it could be.
Photography is the perfect medium for my work because of its inherent duality: on one hand one can create representational images that have a resolution and supposed reality created by the camera, yet at the same time images can be created that are surreal, abstract and dreamlike. No other medium has this immediate dichotomy. Because of its size and weight, the view camera both allows and compels me to experience the subject on a more meditative, introspective level.
“Terence, you are a talented and sensitive young man”

Your artistic vision and your impeccable mastery as a printer combined to offer a show of the highest quality and interest. Photographer after photographer as well as the general public marveled at your show. For my part, I enjoyed every moment spent in the presence of your work.
