Over 25 years, I walked into neglected urban spaces across North America after dark, carrying a 1967 Hasselblad and a bag of colored lights. Each photograph was built over 20 to 60 minutes with the shutter locked open while I moved through the scene in black and invisible, painting the structures by hand with light. My only preview was a Polaroid shot in the dark. The places I shot are the spaces cities turn their backs on and this made them inviting. The work transforms these locations into something between a theater set and a fever dream, revealing a beauty that was always.
