All of my work sits somewhere between painting and photography – I make paintings, but there is no paint involved. Instead, I use the tools of a photographer to create works that encourage the viewer to explore their relationship to the image. A main part of my process includes me removing and rearranging the ink cartridges in my large format printer. I print a photo onto linen over and over, with different arrangements of ink, to create alternate versions of a particular image – then cut different sections of the linen and sew them back together to create a patchwork of the original photo. My disruption of the print is a physical representation of our unique experience, and this technique allows us to reconsider the photograph and our relationship to the imagery.
