Academic Landscapes

Universities are at once places of higher learning- the search for knowledge unhampered by commercial responsibility- and full of opportunity. And yet often, the physical space of the campus, the academic landscape, tells us that they are structured, rigid environments whose administrators are often out of touch with how physical traditions affect classroom culture and pure research.

What I have tried to capture in the images is both a severe beauty - the light and subtleties of surface that continue to give me hope - and the emptiness of these spaces of learning, rich with promise.
