One is our physical surroundings, and the other is our inner world of reverie. At first glance our surroundings appear to be larger, but I am curious about a broader vastness in our reverie. We go to public places, and while functioning in relation to those around us we are concurrently alone with our thoughts. My interest is in the shifting and/or simultaneous states of our external connections and our inner solitude. Image projects take place in Western and Eastern U.S. and Paris.
