Rubber Bands: Close & Closer

I’m fascinated by how light defines shape and form. The seed for this series was planted when Alan Shapiro set forth a challenge to photograph objects from a junk drawer, including rubber bands. I dug up a bag of thin bands from mine and started exploring. The textures and shapes hooked me and I began saving rubber bands from my produce to explore other options. I thought broccoli would win, but in the end, it was kale that delivered with bands that twisted and held their shape the best. The result is this two-part study: Rubber Bands: Close & Closer.
