Artist Statement: Lost in Limbo

I see these photographs as individual abstract panels, creating a whole. My process of creating imagery requires me to move around, within the landscape, taking in different viewpoints through the lens. Branches blur together, petals shift in space and the image is made. Each section of the whole is a different perspective on how I experience the subject through the lens.

This series of work is inspired by the process of looking out a window in a particular way. The window frame divides the scene outside into fragments, or abstracted sections of what I actually see.

It is not until the final editing process that the single abstractions come together as one entire piece. If there is an element of being lost in the moment while making the photographs, then there is a chaotic harmony in what is found in the final presentation. Disparate elements come together as a balanced entity—messy branches contained by neat squares, as I make sense of a confusing landscape.
