The process,
these days, is one that heavily relies on the world of performance. A concept or idea gets explored at first through a sketch, then sourcing or discovering the references at hand. Suddenly, a theatre of sorts comes together in the studio, as color and fabric/material are selected and put up.
Color, light, and motion
all culminate in a manipulated yet still surprising way to bring forth a composition that yields meaning. The references and themes that continue to inspire are circus environments, parades and processions, theatre and festivals.
Digital shots that implement long-exposure evoke
memory, desire, and play.
The artist works with a digital medium-format Hasselblad camera adapted to an analog large-format Sinar camera—the best of both worlds.
She constructs the set (backdrops, props, and garments) and fills it with models, figures, muses - a.k.a. other artist friends. As the “direction”, or sacred choreography unfolds, the composition materializes.
The figure is featured in nearly every series, yet still life is still explored. These creations sometimes appear to be abstract, but other times, a narrative comes forward.
