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.
