ABOUT THE ARTWORK

An image need not be rectilinear. We do not see the world framed by a rectangular display or viewfinder. I am creating images that explore vision and memory. Certain elements in a person’s visual field may fascinate them, absorb their attention. When I look at my photographs, I find the elements of the image that I am drawn to, that inspired me to take the photo. Then, I work with, manipulate and repeat those elements to create an image that reveals the memorable. There is a kaleidoscopic, puzzle-like aspect to the images in this series. I edit, copy and repeat entire photographs to create digital images that reveal new patterns and relationships. For me, a photograph is a building block I can use to create a constructed images composed of many copies of the original photograph. The images evoke pinwheels, kaleidoscopes, mandalas and ammonites. They encourage the viewer to delight in the repetition and patterns revealed in the constructed image. The process of creating my digital images is, at its heart, experimental. I use a photograph I have taken of a building, an art object, nature or landscape and edit the image. Then, I repeat and rotate the image. Patterns evolve as the image is copied, repeated and rotated. I take great pleasure in seeing a constructed image come into being. When the circle is complete, I once again experiment with different ways to “finish” the image. I may rotate the image or edit different layers in the image to reveal a different aspect of the constructed image. I may also copy the “pinwheel” and rotate it so that it reflects and/or doubles the original constructed image.
