Outside and Separate from Me Print

My work explores the metaphorical threshold between outer reality and the inner subconscious. I work with multiple photographs for a piece as a pictorial strategy and work with them in terms of fragmentation. Scenarios that evoke questioning and decoding of narrative undercurrents are meant to be felt, not understood. Giving form to that which is incomprehensible and indeterminate as the manifestation of an uncomfortable beauty is the intention. Encountering that which is unknowable prompts discernment that mystery is insoluble. My hope is that the audience will engage with underlying meanings present in the work. I want viewers to experience nonlinear narratives as they encounter mysterious content. I am interested Jungian psychology, feminine archetypes, symbolic spaces and surrealist intuitive techniques. I am inspired by Goya's black paintings, the Surrealists, Quattrocento Italian painting, contemporary narrative painting, Japanese prints and photography.
