Artist Statement:
SYNOPSIS
Technological advances in the
production of the
photographic image and its
manipulation
reinforce our expectations of
an existence where
our needs are embodied in
mediated reality.
To illustrate the power of
this visual language
of photography and its role in
shaping and
staging contemporary
symbolism, I create a
rarified world of electronic
waste and visual static.
The intent is to share visual
information that is
not bound by the constraints
of conventional
expectations of most mediated
realities.
The video camera, a descendent
from a multitude
of generational shifts in the
technology of the
camera, has been turned toward
the screen of a
color video monitor, capturing
the feedback,
similar to the repel of two
magnets at odds with
each other's polarity.
These raw images are digitized
- their color
enhanced and still images
selected. Results
are depictions of chaos,
fabricated patterns,
implied textures, depth and
other interpretations
that are most often left up to
the discernment of
the audience, but
simultaneously seem intent on
establishing associations with
more representational
imagery.
Photography-based reality, as
an abstraction
that, in and of itself,
suggests there exists an
intimacy and otherness to
matter....
