Concourse: Shadow + Form | Albany, New York

Concourse: Shadow + Form
Empire State Concourse and Office Complex
Image Series 1-20

Artist statement: Concourse: Shadow & Form is a twenty-image series photographed across Albany’s Empire State Plaza and the surrounding New York State Capitol complex, a landscape where mid-century brutalist concrete meets Romanesque Revival stone, and where two very different eras of civic architecture exist side by side.
Shot entirely in monochrome, the series finds geometry in shadow, scale in texture, and form in the spaces between. Concrete and stone. Mass and light. A century apart, connected by the same afternoon sun.
