Statement

I document a time and area in others’ lives, by observing their spaces through a visual study of their possessions and the place they inhabit. Each area is a space that was found during the regularity of life, unprepared for visitors. The imagery is an uncomfortable and disorienting deconstruction of ordinary life. The viewer is visually over stimulated in a new environment with unfamiliar objects. I change the area I observe and reorder the space that I have entered to mold it into my own organization. This reconstruction of a space forces the banal to become the center of attention in the images.

These objects inform each other in a new way, each object carries it own meaning, but as a whole, it has a new definition. Items photographed multiple times are transformed by repetition, becoming pattern as well. The patterns emerge creating a sense of unity among the disparate items. The items documented offer a voyeuristic view into the middle class. The work leaves the viewer with questions of origin of objects, personalities of the owner and a curiosity of the physical space itself.
