Constructed Photographs “The idea of making a shadow into a 3D object was compelling and transformative and I appreciated all aspects of this project’s presentation––it reminded me of the boxes that held my rock collections in my youth. To capture something that is ever changing in such a unique and thoughtful way made this work even more intriguing." -Aline Smithson, curator/artist
This body of work builds on my previous experimentation with multiple montage printing. I’m drawn to the element of chance in montage/multiple image-making. My exploration of folding and constructing new images in three-dimensions creates new ways to observe and experience shifts and changes in the natural world. My interest in shadows is an affirmation of the beauty of change and a reminder of the temporal condition. The constructions are made with rice papers in the shapes of pentagonal dipyramids, octahedrons, square trapezohedrons and cuboctahedrons.
