Artist Statement

Merging the architecture of photographs reveals new realities through digital perspectives. Fractured Space handles photographic documents as abstractions, deconstructs the perspective of landscapes by stitching and flattening space, and reframes the anatomy of images via multiple viewpoints. Visual compositing techniques go beyond the confines of a single picture. It repeats frames, blends pixels, and overwhelmingly controls the field of vision through large scale panoramic vistas. Fractured Space requires the viewer’s closer inspection of the new landscapes to understand the multiperspective relationship of parallel images. Exposing the bounds of the two-dimensional digital perspective exhibits the inevitable questioning of how the outside world is interpreted by data processing.
