"Visual Capacity - Assemblage" Artwork

My practice is lens-based at the core and interdisciplinary in nature. Spanning photographic assemblage, glass assemblage, moving-image, creative writing, photographic installations, and arthouse documentary photography, my work uses integrative methods, with experimental use of materials and combining disciplines. The result entails compositions which have a fluxus interpretation of environments and experiences in relation to the purpose of contemporary individualism. Texts and atmospheric symbolism within the works deal with themes such as nihilism, anguish, desire, mania, glory, and excess within the confines of the contemporary digital era. In other words, emotional impulses reflecting institutional criticism, deconstructing imposed narratives.

Through integrative practice and raw, unfiltered imagery, my lens-based arts, in all forms, reveals a dichotomy between perception and interpretation. Through carefully chosen subject matter, lighting, conceptual composition, and applied texts, my works communicate a sense of isolation and despair yet an unnerving aesthetic which offers experiences which are engaging, lucid, and enchanted. With unfamiliar sensory experiences and composure which draws attention to peculiarity, the viewer will find in the lens-based works a sense of deconstructing institutional barriers within the confines of captured reality.
