Convergence
This body of work is guided by curiosity, wonder, time, and my own life experiences. By sending a probe back into my own archive—spanning more than three decades of photographs—I am discovering deeper meanings and a renewed purpose in what I've captured. I combine these physical prints in a hands-on, tactile way, splicing them together to create entirely new narratives and questions. A photograph that was once straightforward becomes a complex conversation.
A few well-worn paths keep emerging in this series, with environmental awareness and the weight of the human condition pulling the hardest.
With "Automation," for example, I took a double-exposed photograph of a Ferris wheel and converged it with a large format portrait to push the imagery to new heights. It forces questions about our human regimens—how much we go through life on autopilot, repeating the same actions and thinking the same thoughts over and over.
In "Hand of Man," I wanted to touch on the environmental impact of pollutants in our water systems. By grafting an aerial photograph I took of an Icelandic watershed onto a hand chemigraph—which I made by applying raw photo chemicals directly onto photographic paper—a real conversation about conservation begins.
There are no digital alterations here. Instead, a tactile piece is created as its own physical art object—torn, adorned, and then photographed once again in its new environment.
