Wish You Were Here
Every place I visit gives me new experiences and allows me to be my true self. I want to stay in this state as long as possible because I don’t want to face what has happened or is coming. I am constantly coming and going – the past and the future are in arms reach, but I am happy to be in-between. I am liminal.
Using photographs from my family’s past, combined with my own photographs and imagery of non-places, I create places that could never exist, but that are eerily familiar. These transitional spaces are made through layering and repetition, along with transparencies, projections and iridescent film. They seem familiar but are of the past and will never be relived or revisited. With every movement, another viewpoint is revealed: you will never see the original image. All you will ever see is my construction, a false memory
Wish you were here, but you could never be.
