Reaching goals, feeling good

Silver gelatin lumen print, 7.5"x13"

My most recent project, The Periphery of Consciousness, is a series of silver gelatin lumen prints. In this work, abstraction functions as a subversive response to today's post-digital world, countering the fear, anxiety, and mistrust of reality it has induced. To create the photogram, I collect organic and inorganic detritus and collaborate with natural elements. I play within the picture plane and construct abstract landscapes intuitively. Free to roam, my imagination becomes sentient. I draw inspiration from personal experience and compose utopias of unique design. Since the digital revolution, our imagination is all that remains unmediated. It is important to recreate experience from imagination because the subjective is authentic and reliable. The Periphery of Consciousness asks the viewer to look to the edge of their awareness, where they will find the antidote to the post-digital condition.
