Untitled, an ongoing series, aims to add to the contemporary photographic conversation by creating new ways to depict perspective.

In the works Wrinkled Reservoir and Nebula, I attempt to photograph land and starscapes, altering the method by which we traditionally view space. Wrinkled Reservoir was distorted while scanning the image, just as a reservoir distorts the natural landscape, creating an image in which process references subject matter. Nebula is exposed entirely from light outside of our solar system and presents time, light, and space on a scale much grander than we see in daily life.

Relative, a portrait of a relative who’s identity is now unknown, addresses our relationship to subjects within photographs and how our visual perception varies with a our knowledge of those subjects. Through the process of rephotographing, this image questions whether we look at photographic imagery as the flattening of three dimensional space or as a dimensional object in and of itself.

Conversion, a magnified image of photographic film, created by a scanning electron microscope, allows us to view the surface of a black and white negative. The image was created by photographing a small bar of gold whose reflected light was captured in light sensitive silver on film. This work examines the connection between the medium of photography and the conversion of material from one form to another.
