It’s been a busy week or so now finishing up classes but I’m finally updating with photos from my Senior Exhibition.  I had 8 digital photographs displayed in shadow boxes behind the wall.  I drilled a hole in the wall about the size of a quarter and placed a filigree bronze frame around each hole.  The viewer had to then view each photograph by looking through the hole in the wall.  The opening went very well I received a lot of good feedback and it was such a great experience.  

Artist Statement:

When I observe the world around me, I see photographs.

Being a very curious individual, I have an acute sensitivity to the mundane things in life. I am inspired by the little things in life that people tend to disregard.

My photographs are recreations of experiences, awkward or mundane.  I am alert and aware of my presence in relation to other people living around me.  By appearing to be unseen, my photographs attempt to break the boundaries of commonly accepted rules of privacy.
