The urban landscape of New York is my primary subject matter. I have always been fascinated by how socio-economic forces have transformed neighborhoods over the decades, but I try to capture a sense of permanence amidst the flux. The Limelight is a Chelsea landmark, and as such it is a symbol of permanence, but it also encapsulates the ever-changing demographics of the city: In the mid-nineteenth century, the building was an Episcopalian church; in the 1960’s, it was deconsecrated and transformed into a rehab facility; then in the eighties, it was turned into a nightclub. More recently, the building has housed a mall and a gym.
