Overlooked - continued

These satellite images were rendered almost unrecognizable with Photoshop, transforming overhead views of urban neighborhoods into abstract forms and patterns instead. The neighborhoods were overlaid with enlarged and carefully camouflaged hand saws or C clamps. Cycling from one layer to another, the eye alternates between barely recognizable residential buildings and almost imperceptible hand tools once used to make them. Whereas camouflage normally protects against detection, I use it to engage the eye, to fool it, perplex it, even tease it -- in short, to encourage viewers to look more carefully at the art.
