ARTIST STATEMENT

Choreodrama Series

This series of images involve my interpretation of sensation and its interruption by another incident, force or action. They are as titled, a choreographed drama, visually and conceptually. The actual events do not exist; they are fictional plays on the incidents of life. In these works life is shifting as individuals respond to stimuli.

I am working to encapsulate response and reaction in the “instant/instance” that a situation turns into something else. Flow is held - moments are frozen mid-movement, yet change is imminent.

Interested in exploring the conceptual aspects of the work, as well as the photographic relationships that shift between time-based motion pieces and still photography, I present these works as the transition between the two forms. The absence of real-time movement is implied in the captures, while a moment is sliced from the action. I enjoy working with the push and pull of the media/medium and the concept.
