"Cataloging isolated and fleeting fragments of my every day through various visual mediums. I collect juxtaposed images of singular details amongst chaotic surroundings birthing a fictional memory based on truths that are wrapped around me. The purpose of this archive is to formulate a representation of the world in which I conduct the instrument and about the role of the reality in which I create for myself. I both deconstruct and reconstruct the natural and chemical composition of diverse organic and artificial materials to produce the unseen evidence of multiple realities that exist through the constructs of various matter. I do so with the purpose of offering a different mode of imagery, of endless landscapes and of perplexing textures and space. This is done with the intention of further chipping away at the edges of perception." |
