Artist Statement: “These photos are from a series taken in Japan last winter.

It was hard to tell if things rusted more frequently here or if the tone of the rust’s canvas just made it more obvious. The palette of the houses’ paint gave the impression that they had been designed to rust, as if time and oxygen were their final adornments.”
