Camo

Noticing color—the kind that usually slips past you. Not the bright stuff up front, but the muted tones hiding in shadows, faded walls, or dry grass.

Sampling those colors with a camera and Photoshop’s color picker, pulling them from coastlines, trails, backyards—ordinary places I spend time in. Later, I added colors from older photos and trips, building a kind of archive of overlooked hues.

Camouflage pulled it all together. Camo hides and translates. It breaks the world down into repeating shapes and tones pulled straight from their surroundings. I liked that both as an image and as an idea: how we blend into a place.

The work was abstract—patterns Then small photographic fragments, pieces of the original landscape. Reminders of where the colors came from. Each piece includes geographic coordinates, so if you’re curious, you can find the source.
