Artist Statement
Eye on U is a collection of street photographs of storefronts across the world,
taken using vintage cameras. The negatives and prints were hand developed.
Everything is fashion and everything is art.
How we choose to decorate our bodies,
our private spaces,
our public spaces,
our architecture,
our gardens and the food we eat are
all part of our own personal artistic expression.
All these forms of expression have become fashion statements and speak volumes to our way of life
and the way we choose to exist.
