My work layers images, objects and light effects that narrate my experience as an artist. Trained in formal fine arts, including studies of the Florentine Renaissance, my work is informed by this highly structured aesthetic and aids the process that I work with. I rely on a toy camera, the Holga, to create the images that communicate what inspires me - time - expanded to encourage the viewer to immerse themselves in a moment of beauty and intensity.
The layering effects are created in camera at the time they existed, an integral aspect in capturing a visual continuum of a moment simultaneously pulled apart, and pushed back together- there is no digital layering of images.
The portability of this camera and the technical process allows for the transience of travel to such places as London, Paris and San Francisco where I respond to the local as an outsider removed from the familiar objects, allowing me to reinterpret the everyday to the viewer.
