I am drawn to photography and digital media because it allows me to combine reality with fantasy. Recently I have been working with lenticulars—a photographic method that allows me to compress multiple images in one plane, creating the effect of isolated motion and interaction. The scenarios I stage reveal my love-hate relationship with the very technology that enables me to create my art. I assume the role of each character, by building costumes, donning makeup and wigs, and transforming into a new personality. My images are created both with a sense of humor, and with a yearning to hold onto physical human interaction in a technologically advancing society. Maybe they will inspire some viewers to spend a little more time with their friends and families…without their BlackBerry’s.
