Artist Statement for Greg Markstrom

The photographs in this series came about as I was attempting to sort through an identity crisis. I seemed to have lost track of who I am. After speaking with a number of people, some real, some fictional, it seems most everyone has developed so many layers it’s difficult to return to the core. We all play so many roles, so many different characters, that it’s easy to lose track of our true identities.
I’ve tried to take all of these battling psyches of an individual and compress them into a single photograph. I’ve combined in various amounts, realities, dreams, fantasies, fears, especially the fears because that’s what drives a lot of us, and thrown them all on a page leaving them to battle it out. Some of the photographs turned into portraits while others took on a more narrative structure.
Hopefully I’ve captured the complexities of some of these people, both real and fictional, that I spoke with.
