Hipstabird Opening

The Hipstabird Series is a combination of my digital photos, emulsion slide transfers and images taken with the â??hipstamaticâ?? app on the iphone. This body of work represents the relevance between oneâ??s ordinary experiences, oneâ??s spirit and the source that connects us all. I relish the contemplative, those things that nurture an introspective insight into who we are. In this series the chicken and the seagull have become metaphors for this journey. Itâ??s my way of discovering meaning and understanding through the creative process.

I experience the world in layers as if one were walking through their day with blurred vision, not taking in specifics but piecing various parts together and overlapping them with colors, textures and shapes. These images form the experience of my reality. We often miss the essence of existence by allowing our minds to focus on the object...My photography is about expressing through these forms the subtlety of influences that exist; it's photography that represents my personal experience of the world.
