thesis: composited self

Artist Statement: Photography gives me a way to communicate a message to others without having to speak or write. Combining images in the Darkroom allows me to create a fantasy world where I am free from expectations. I have chosen to not show entire faces to reflect my desire to show a self-portrait in a less typical sense, to show some part of myself, and to allow the viewer to enter this built world more easily.

My thesis, Composited Self, was displayed in the Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs from 5.3.24 - 5.19.24. Each print is on Ilford Pearl photo paper and is 11x14 inches.
