\u201cOn my many trips to Athens I would go to Kerameikos, the ancient cemetery of Athens, when I needed some space from the busy metropolis for some rest and contemplation. What was it about this special place that drew me there time after time? Being a minimalist sculptor, the basic 3-dimensional forms lying on the grounds of the Kerameikos immediately caught my eye. I did not view these stone boxes, that generated so much mysterious energy as archeological artifacts as much as abstract minimalist forms, yet again there was a human element associated with them. I was enthralled with the arbitrary positions that had evolved over the centuries. They all stood out as individual objects working together to create one great sitespecific work. I asked myself, was there a process by which I could record this as my eye saw it and my psyche absorbed it? With my square-formatted Hasselblad camera, I photographed what I observed in two different visits. The twenty-one black and white silver gelatin prints are the final result.\u201d<\/p>\n
