Artist Statement v2
In our first project this semester, I took a few photos that contained reflections as I looked through storefront windows. I decided to investigate this idea more, finding myself most interested in images that left interior and exterior undefined, that created a new space that can’t be seen by the naked eye. I find these kinds of images compelling because they take a place in the real world and add something to it. They take a minute for you to realize what is happening. You really have to spend some time with them to figure them out. I also like them because they flatten the space I am photographing. They manage to take a bunch of different aspects of everyday life, buildings, cars, etc., and put them all on the same plane. I like this equality of space. So many things are so specialized these days, and I really like the idea of everything getting equal attention.

Self-Designed
For my self-designed, I think I want to play with reflections. In Making Taking, two of my photos played with reflections and I think I want to explore this more. This project could involve both portraits and landscapes or other non-people-centric photos. I'm not sure which yet. I really like the idea of creating new views by using reflections. Especially creating landscapes on top of landscapes.
My influences for this are:
Obsession with image (how we appear to others)
Last year in Photo I, there was a student who did portraits of girls putting on make-up as if the camera was a mirror
The story about mirror therapy in "The Itch"
Double-exposures
Music:
"Future Reflections" by MGMT
"I Can See For Miles" by The Who
Mixing two or more songs together, creating a new thing: "Forever Gold" by E-603
Remixing Songs: "Janglin' (RAC Remix)" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
