After experiencing several personal visitations and dreams of
outer worldly ethereal ghosts.
I decided to interpret these quiescent deities with 35mm film
photography.
Combining light and fabric and skin to express to the
photographic community the possibility of beings appearing
beyond our comprehension.
To stir a poetical dialogue with the magic of traditional film. To
conjure sensually with the human form a
partition bridging the supernatural and spiritual to the real.
Paying tribute to the feminine muse in sculpture and historical
painting.
