“Sight is a negotiation between shadow and reflection. Light rebounds through matter. It is never still, it doesn’t age. We, in contrast, are finite and the photograph offers a remedy for our deeply human susceptibility to time. But light is fickle, photography is instrumental, and seeing is just our best guess. What does it mean to see time? In Overview, I make spherical and ellipse cameraless prints using a variety of sculptural tools to reflect and deflect light onto a photosensitive paper’s surface.

By transforming my environment into a “recording studio,” I patiently wait for compositions to emerge and observe subtle changes throughout the minutes, days and weeks of the exposure—and marking quantum changes in my working space. The final stage, a delicate rendering of astronomical and geometric patterns, carries a spectral essence of the space, embodying the spatial and temporal elements of New York which. Existing at the intersection of photography and sculpture, my work addresses the limits of both sight and knowledge  through the fabrication of photographic exposures on gelatin silver paper, investigating our wider human experience through light, perception and time. In this sense, this observation becomes an overview of ourselves and how light impacts our psyche, environment and social structures.”
