Abstract and Color Field Photographer - Macro Expressionist at heart.

"Macro Expressionism is a style of photography which focuses on enlarging small subject matter in a non-objective manner. It emphasizes what is important in the photographer’s frame at the moment and isn’t concerned with the representation of the object as a whole. Where a pure macro photographer may show an object close-up with all details clearly visible, a Macro Expressionist shows the details primarily as abstract subject matter.

Macro Expressionism takes its inspiration from Abstract Expressionistic painters such as Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still (Color Field), Richard Diebenkorn (Abstract Expressionism), Jackson Pollock (Action Painting), and the Surrealist painter Arshile Gorky.

These painters, and others like them, focused on abstraction of subject matter and de-emphasized representation. Their anti-figurative content portrayed spontaneous, automated or subconscious creation which is parallel to the goal of the Macro Expressionist."
