Artist Statement:
I’m interested in how our
visual world has been
constructed by the invention
and practice of photography.
Primarily, I’m interested in
how the photograph became
associated with notions of
truth or evidence in our
society, but I’m also
intrigued by the creation of
an “image-consciousness” that
fuels a consumer economy and
creates photographic
"standards."
Using our eyes we receive the
visual world through the
process of human sight -- an
organic process of recording
sensations. The images arrive
in momentary glimpses,
transmitted and recorded by
impulses of light on our eye’s
retinal surface and then
transmitted as electronic
stimuli to our brain. Our
brain continues to process
this stream of imagery,
allowing only a fraction of a
second for identification and
assimilation of each image
into meaningful information.
To continue to process images
we receive, we must rely on
memory, or rather our ability
to hold an image as a visual
thought. In a corresponding
fashion, photographs are
records of (usually) short
durations of light and
chemically retained on
sensitized surfaces, yet they
are durable and available for
prolonged scrutiny -- tiny
details and spatial context
are infinitely reviewable.
What could be a better system
for better...
