Constructed Realities is a series of fictional scenes that each represent a suspended moment in time, a void, where the unknown looms. It is a decision making moment where the present separates from an alternate pathway of the futures that didn’t materialize. Only in hindsight can one determine how to interpret that moment with regret or gratitude and wonder about the paths not taken.
These scenes are all built with small scale 1/18 size sets and props. When the scale is revealed their fictional nature allows them to exist somewhere between the real and the imagined.
I'm an artist who explores narrative storytelling through photographs and multimedia using constructed realities that cross over into implied fiction. My work contains a graphic story-telling quality with a cinematic feel.
