STATEMENT
I am interested in the relationship between the everyday and the extraordinary. I photograph, draw, or film tableaus made out of common materials and frame them in a way that reference vast scales. I want to create images that are familiar and unfamiliar; grand and absurd; serious and comedic.
My desires for creating clumsy universes have multiple and divergent
roots: lunar and post lunar explorations (early models of the moon,
first lunar landing, subsequent explorations of space), earthly investigations
into unreachable territories (treacherous bipedal expeditions, deep
sea trench expeditions) and the literature that precedes it (Verne,
Conrad, Melville, Kafka). In the forefront of all those influences
are the moving images of Werner Herzog, Jacques Tati, Jean-Luc Godard
and Chantal Ackerman – pointing to the uncommon in the everyday,
and the common in the not so common. |
