Michael Teresko
My work continues the study of the interaction between the man-made and the natural worlds explored by the New Topographics photographers. For me, photography is less a creative activity and more a reductive exercise, an attempt to filter the world of distractions. I try to search for structures and patterns hidden in the chaotic spaces all around us, and in them find images with a dream-like power and mystery.
