Self-portrait (2021)
About the work
My work explores what we feel but don’t necessarily see in the moments that touch us. What’s lost on us visually may be present in a photograph, yet unrecognized, overwhelmed by things that draw our attention yet aren’t central to what actually stirs our feelings. Each work is a collection of visual impressions, a collage of sorts, drawn from a moment.
About the artist
I am a photographer who sometimes works in three dimensions. I’ve been influenced by a grandfather who was a painter, photographer and woodworker, a mother with a keen eye for craftsmanship in all its forms, a few dear mentors, and the opportunity to work collaboratively with creative colleagues on the vast “canvasses” – exhibition halls, an art gallery, the planetarium dome – offered by a career in science museums.
