ARTIST STATEMENT --- The process of photography is a tool of translation where the real three dimensional world gets transformed into the two dimensional, fictional, image. I pull apart and re-assemble this process by using different media to intersect the creation of my images. To me every painting, sculpture or photograph I create are equal and there’s no difference between process and result.


THE PAINTINGS PROJECT


The paintings project is a research into the tension between photography as a tool and photography as an autonomous image. The abstract paintings are made purely from a visual standpoint, they do not have a linear narrative that they try to communicate. Photogaphy however, does create this narrative, resulting in a shift of focus. The process becomes the result and the paintings which were once created as autonomous works become metaphorical for the entirety of the progress that was made.
