“During the limited travel of the pandemic lockdown I decided to photograph in the streets of my neighborhood. My subject was trash, the proliferation of discarded plastic bottles, cans, gloves, masks, oil slicks, and other general detritus in the gutters. These discarded items once serving a purpose were now abandoned, transformed in the landscape through the process of destruction, decay, and oblivion. I was initially depressed and the weather of overcast and rainy days intensified these feelings. But it also created a sense of timelessness, a suspension of reality that inspired my imagination. As I photographed I found humor and irony in their ugliness, mortality and beauty in small things.” --- Brooke Hammerle artist statement for Gutter Funnies series.

Water Music series
 

“In this body of work I am searching for patterns in natural phenomenon where a process becomes an image of visual poetry. The continuous repetition of flowing water, breaking over the successive bowls against the backlighting of the sun creates a sight and sound of something beyond itself, a sensation similar to music which I have titled “Water Music”.” --- Brooke Hammerle artist statement for Water Music series.
