Arrays of electric and gas fixtures provide unique geometric shapes, creating visual rhythms. In the back alleys and side streets of commercial areas, you will find these creations adorning the walls of the buildings. Also, in parks and other public spaces, you can find clusters of power distribution panels in rigid steel enclosures.

Artist’s Notes

I photographed this project over several years and at various locations using a Nikon D800 dSLR in natural light. I used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to process the raw images.
