Artist Statement:
One day in NYC I happened to glance up and see an invisible building suspended between the others. It was upside down, the color of air.
A few steps later it disappeared. Then, around the next corner, I saw another building like the first. I felt I'd stumbled upon a secret city, luminous and strange. Soon after, I began the photographs that would become my ongoing series, Buildings Made of Sky.
Over the years, my project has come to include different cities and times of day. But always with the conviction that the best part of my day is spent in the spaces between buildings. It’s the space we all share, the space we assume but cannot name.
