Division 4 is primarily an exploration into form, color and compositional foundations within a narrative, illuminating the corporate culture we now live in both the new product and its discards, which has become a paralysis throughout the world. Although the images herein were primarily captured in my immediate geographic area, they represent this culture’s collective global span.

The present directions seem unreal, ignoring signs, igniting compliance with a misunderstood rehash of past ideological behaviors that history has witnessed.

Rather than maintaining the historic persona, the terrain can be observed directly by the cracks and dislodgement's. Division 4, light and satirical as it is, makes no comparison to the examination of large areas of the planet’s population of all living matter threatened with life survival on a daily basis cannot be equaled, yet, points in that direction.

Comparison to the universal is not the aim, if anything Division 4 foregrounds composition no matter the lowest consequential nature of the subjects. The streets and byways can leave hard signs, metaphors even. it’s a play of the obvious that transpires into a four-image narrative that can be viewed left to right, right to left, diagonal or backwards conveying out of touch.

Ambiguity allows us to disregard, Yes or No and visualize Yes and No. The humor is isolated yet evident, as all things can be examined with lightness and clarity, one hopes.
