Artist Statement on Intermediate final Project.

For my final project for my intermediate class I decided to do series of photos of pay phones. I got my idea looking through the work of Edward Ruscha. I love that in his photography work he likes the idea of not needing a explination to understand his work. With my documentation of the payphones I wanted to document somthing people are slowley forgetting about. Payphones use to be highly used and now they are not anymore they are just a decoration on the american landscape now. The fact they are being forgotten highly interests me and wants me to document them. It is like getting last pictures of animal that is going exstinct you know you see them at the moment but they will not be there anymore the next. My main point of this art projet is documenting somthing that is being forgotten before it disapeers. I like that i just have short phrase to go with my work because i like to leave the rest up to the viewers mind. I believe artists have to much for you to read when they display work I like to keep it the way older artist did and leave it to the mind. That is my goal with my current art project.
