ARTIST STATEMENT

“All Clear” is a series that I have wanted to create for years. I have been interested in roller coasters for as long as I can remember; not only for their amusement purposes, but for their visual aspects, their compositions, and their technical qualities as well. These photographs were taken at Carowinds Amusement Park of my personal favorite ride, “Afterburn.” This ride has been at the park for many years and has been through some wear and tear, but it has interesting visual characteristics that I fell are worthy of creating a series of photographs.
