Each object acts as a model, posing for its portrait, self-contained on the blank stage of a monochromatic field of black or white from which to address the audience/viewer. These models and sometimes actors are often themselves photographs that are treated as objects (torn, crumpled, folded, collaged) and then rephotographed. They are representations of representations that often result in narrative fragments recalling forgotten and unknown moments in time.It is the discourse between the layers of representation and the distance between the objects and their description that impels the making of the work, which I consider to be an investigation into the language of visual poetry and an attempt to find meaning in disorder by way of cataloguing the artifacts of personal experience.
