War of the Worlds I

Vision is, to me, a complicated phenomenon composed of multiple layers that alter with varied states. I incorporate layering in my images to evoke the layers of my internal and external experiences. I use these fragments and elements of collage to create a sort of miniature stage set, a movie still from a fictitious moment in time. By controlling lighting and perspective, when I ultimately re-photograph my constructions, I can create a mood and direct the viewer’s gaze.
