The images are meant to evoke chains of associations mysteriously familiar and yet somewhat referential in that their morphology occurs in multiple contexts: they resemble shapes found in natural foods, as well as in the astronomical universe. The viewer is forced to accept or reject the frailty and ephemeral projection of hypothetical emotional representations onto the images, thus inviting as well as revealing the complexity of personal thoughts in terms of colorful, framed representations.

The use of photography cools and transforms those emotional projections, making them more readable for what they are in terms of imagined capacity. The heaviness and immutability of my chosen medium acts as a preservative, a distancing image for the strongly charged formal context of the work. I have found that while working on this series, one photograph suggests the next in a seemingly limitless generative process.

The dominion of shapes and colors from which to choose becomes seemingly unending, and all such symbology now necessarily exists on an even field of valuation. How we visualize these photographs, and interpret them in our mind’s eye, assigns a cerebral value to them and becomes the fundamental question, absorbed in a basic visual and tactile, array of universally understood images.
