ARTIST STATEMENT: Like many others, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands during the stay at home orders. I began looking through all of the work that I had made thus far, particularly my prints and contact sheets. I got the idea to create something new with the work that I had. I hooked up my scanner and began experimenting by layering my prints with found objects and textures, trying out different compositions to form a narrative. What resulted was a reinvention of intimate self-portraits that I had taken pre-pandemic that oddly represented how I was feeling in the present amidst a global catastrophe.
