Artist Statement

"Thity Six Views of the Empire State Building—After Hokusai." All the photos in this series are of the Manhattan skyline taken over the course of one year from various points along the waterfront in Greenpoint. Each features the same iconic view of the Empire State Building but despite the similarity of subject matter differences in position, lighting, season and weather create a diverse set of images. The project is inspired by the Japanese artist Hokusai and his famous folio of woodblock prints ‘Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji’ which includes the singularl work ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’.
