Pritzker Abstract #2
Chicago, Illinois
2011

I think the appeal of Gehry’s buildings is that they make cold, angular, scaly metal forms actually look sensual. In fact, photos of Gehry’s work have much the same feel as that other perennially photographed sensual subject (no not women), sand dunes. This comparison came to mind when I was viewing fellow photographer Cole Thompson’s portofolio The Dunes of Nude around the same time I was working on my Pritzger images.
