ARTIST
STATEMENT (THEORY):
My photographic
collages embody movement of time, experience, memory and spatial
relationships as variables captured in the scene. I begin all
collages with a sketch. Then, I rotate the camera to achieve the
different angles and layer each photo with my observance of a place,
during different times of the day or year to create a dynamic
scene. When you see a change in the tone from one photo to the
other, it’s the result of a different time that I was at the
location. I believe these multiple layers of variables engage the
viewer’s eyes and body allowing you to experience the poetics of
space, even allowing the scene to pull the viewer in. I am drawn to
capture ordinary and everyday occurrences from my DC neighborhood,
like Rush Hour or Cherry Blossoms to the Inaugural Celebration while
travels take me to New York, Chicago and Paris, France.
