I am capturing a visual anthropology
of the experiences and relationships that have become a part of my past, present and future existence, and are essentially what I have left behind.
The photos act as a testament to my humanity and a reflection of my personal history. I am seeking to create totems of the universal dialogue within relationships.
As individuals, we each exist within our own reality, and we leave behind experiences we’ve created. This is an inevitable part of our being. This project documents the aftermath of my personal experience, based on the philosophy that in order to be free, one must lose everything.
The pieces within this body of work are all created with a process I invented…
Upon completion of my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) & my Masters (MA) from SCAD-Atlanta, I created 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.
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.
👉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.
