The Ballerina Collection
The Ballerina Collection consists of 3 galleries that tell the life of a dancer through objects and items, as well as the rhythmic motion captured by the cliche-verre 'imprint' like process.
This body of work reflects my experience within the ballet world, as well as the degradation of strength, frailty, and power.
I’m seeking to capture the ‘aesthetic experience’ of ballet, and the fragility of different bodily connections through the contradictory impulses of strength and restraint that often go overlooked.
Scanography Soul Portraits
Upon completion of my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) & my Masters (MA) from SCAD-Atlanta, I invented my own photographic process with scanography.
In older forms of photography, the glass served as the negative, or served as the transfer medium sometimes with paper positives, etc.
In my process, the subject is visually treated similar to a film "negative" and the image is flattened through digital degradation with a portable wand of light.
I developed the process originally as a mockery of digital photography because I was so pissed about the digital 'takeover'.
It also served as a technical tool to help express some of the concepts my work centered around with ballet which was a huge part of my life growing up.
When I decided to make work about my experience in the world of ballet, I thought of the contradicting ideas of degradation, restriction, and freedom. Being constrained by the scanner for these projects, as well as the degrading aspects of digital manipulation, I was able to translate the ‘aesthetic experience’ of ballet into a degraded, virtual one.
This allowed people to see a perspective from someone on the inside looking out, instead of the outside world trying to look inward. I wanted the subject to become the ‘negative’ which related to these ideas technically and conceptually.
The pieces within this body of work are all created with this process…
The style of the series is ethereal, yet saturated, capturing the absurdity of life while revealing that our past doesn't have to be our biography, but rather the thought that your perception is your reality.
👉These images are life-size (or pretty close to), because the object is summed into pixels, the size of the object scanned is the size of the file.
Images with people tend to be 67”-72” on the long side.
You can view examples of the scanography process I created dispersed throughout my work, but specifically concentrated in my 'Things I've left Behind', 'Scanography Soul Portraits' and 'Not Good Enough' Galleries.
The Rebel Collection
The Rebel is a visual story including scanography work, 35mm, large and medium format film photography & Darkroom work of the Wild South: Charlotte, NC, New Orleans, LA & Dallas, GA.
The Rebel is usually ahead of it's time, yet a timeless archetype.
This collection celebrates the freedom of choice, the right to be uncommon, & opportunity--not security.
Biophilic Art & Design - The Garden Party Collection
‘The Garden Party’ images were created in the sentiment and inspiration of a biophilic lifestyle—An innate human tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.
In addition to the art pieces, the collection features handmade ‘Glow’ votive candle holders with each one being unique & original. The floral imagery has been transferred onto the glass in a unique process which produces a silvery, light, and glowing finish.
