"Urban Nomad" uses randomly placed poetic text written as a commentary on culture, myth and identity to create a visual narrative that questions a variety of issues within the context of modern urban culture. By placing words in a seemingly random order, the viewer has the possibility to construct phrases that create new meaning. The juxtaposition of words and images in the series examine cultural identity and urban mythology as it relates to common belief systems integrated with societal perceptions of acceptance, place, faith, power, and tolerance.
This is an ongoing series that began in 1983 and includes images from a variety of locations around the world.
The book is published using Blurb's Custom Workflow to ensure the highest and most consistent quality.
