Artist Statement:
I can remember when I believed
the mirror’s reflection was a
world that I couldn’t get to,
existing just beyond the
glass. Of course, I now know
that reflection is, and always
was, an illusion. But this
begs the question of what
other illusions do I believe
to be reality at this point in
time?
My photographic work seeks to
investigate the idea that the
appearance of what we see as
“reality” is malleable and
constantly shifting. I try to
depict the unfamiliar as
formed by reflections: in this
sense, my subject is not the
person depicted but the images
as they represent points of
view. Reflections allow the
camera, a single point
perspective tool, to see from
multiple viewpoints at once,
thus potentially destabilizing
the viewer’s personal sense of
visual authority or any fixed
sense of “point of view”. The
presence of multiple visual
channels can challenge
assumptions about perspective,
both journalistic and
personal; it can even argue
that the camera’s truest
marker is not image but time.
By marking a specific moment,
the camera allows the
opportunity to take “point of
view” itself as a vehicle for
content and contemplation.
