I am interested in imagining the material surface of digital images. The objects I make play with what is obscured and what is permeable in these files. I seek to re-stage digital photographs in a way that plays with medium and material. Digital matter is often understood as insignificant or fleeting, here it is absurdly rendered tactile. I observe the surface to gain a formal grounding that allows room for abstraction and identification. Here the literal ground, a cement sidewalk, is tipped on its axis. The photographic print is illuminated and given physical dimensions. The window is covered by a composite flood shade. I use light to point to the history of film and photography. I am asking images to perform and take on multiple material structures. Through reflection and mimicry, I create a theater where artificial simultaneities and multiplicities are allowed to play out.
