My work evokes the meditative quality of watching water move. It examines the possibility that, during a contemplative state, the awareness of space and time - the experience of being part of the world - can be more candid and heightened.
Repeated, long exposures photographed in the same location from the same place over and over function as metaphors for the flux and melancholia in life. Printed on delicate, transparent, and translucent materials, the quiet, often monochromatic, and ethereal images seemingly cascade down the wall, compressing time and movement as if each composition were a condensed video. Slowly, the work becomes an inquiry about subjectivity and perception; what we see and feel, how we process the outside world, and how we experience abstraction, ultimately transforms the gravitational into the atmospheric. Acknowledging accidental, ambiguous, and unspectacular moments is an essential part of the work, encouraging the experience and embrace of the unknown.
