Infinite Possibilities / Discriminating Measures is an ongoing project of unlimited duration that incorporates an ever-growing body of elements conceived to be a single unified, but variable artwork. The entire artwork will be offered for exhibition to curators who are to select any number of components from the group to display in as limited or in as expansive an area as they choose. There are stipulations: 1. The curator must select equal numbers of elements from each section of the artwork (Infinite Possibilities and Discriminating Measures). 2. The display should be grouped in a seemingly random fashion without any obvious overall horizontal or vertical grids (although each element will be displayed level to the floor). The elements from the Infinite Possibilities selections consist of pictures made during my daily walks. In essence, they are reminiscent of my early photo training, when as a young art student I would simply go out with my camera to encounter the world. In those days, walking alone with my camera, I learned to “see” photographs in the environment — making a shot and starting to understand how the camera translates the “reality” we think we know. Noted American photographer Gary Winograd summed it up nicely when he said, “I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.”
