Flat Pennies & Other Tales
The final images are documents of small-scale sets that I have constructed. The sets are constructed from a mixture of photographs and three-dimension objects. Just like our imagination, the sets weave together different layers of fact and fiction that heighten the drama of the moment. The final images are created when I explore and capture images of the set with my camera, flattening all the layers of information into one document.
To me, a memory is the essence of a moment. It is a reliquary filled with vivid emotions, saturated aesthetics and vague narratives. Flat Pennies & Other Tales are physical documents of undocumented memories giving them an anchor in time.
