Artist Statement
Through exploring the relationship between physics and photography I began to experiment with overexposing imagery. I found overexposing the scene creates voids and leaves fragments by playing with and manipulating movement and light. The large white voids appear to carry no detail or information put still inform the mind through the negative space by focusing on patterns and details. While shooting in busy urban areas the chaos is removed and fragments are left for one to piece together. The remnants of the scene create uncertainty and lead the mind to build a new story of the space. I brought my love for architecture into the imagery by shooting the imagery as I move through the city. “Strings” comes from a fleeting glance and movement of the camera to help eliminate the surrounding space and focus on the form of the awning. The diagonal lines create a sense of structure and force the mind to question what is seen or unseen, absent or present, fiction or truth.
