Artist Statement
As a landscape photographer and native southerner transplanted to Philadelphia, I am exploring the relationship between place, home and cultural identity. The process of learning to see this new place photographically is revealed through the heavy shadows, broken and animated by light and color. Rather than being about geography, these images are about navigation through space, literal as well as metaphorical, in response to place. They represent an internal landscape and illustrate the difficulty of seeing clearly in the present.
These images are captured with a low-resolution point-and-shoot camera so that I can respond intuitively and spontaneously to a quickly changing environment. The resulting digital artifacts create image texture, which refers to both painting and the vernacular photograph. The absence of clarity reflects the internal process of reckoning. |
