My composited photographs merge technologies, blur the boundaries between the real and the unreal, and re-imagine worlds that, like our own, remain forever a mystery. I invite the viewer to look closely, to engage with me in an imaginative discourse, and to enter into a world of magic, dreams, and memory. My artistic process is an act of intuition, investigation, and the construction and amalgam of, at first glance, seemingly random objects. These dream-like visions and altered habitats are constructed of photographs I’ve taken with a variety of cameras, as well as discarded portraits of long-forgotten ancestors. These constructed images are intended to evoke a sense of transience, escape, memory, and, despite our yearning for connectedness, the dislocation we all too often experience.
