New projects

I have two new projects I've been working on this year, these are mere sketches of possible future projects.

Pulp Fiction Covers


The images take actual experiences, and use the visual language from a pulp fiction novel cover to try to recreate the memory. Clearly this doesn’t quite begin to recreate the whole memory, but gives a glimpse of the events that took place.


Since I document a lot of experiences, but hardly ever place them in a photo album I thought this would be a great way to gather a whole experience onto a single image that told about the experience as a whole rather than a single moment.





Image As Investigation

For this project I am making a study of movement by exploring the passage of time within one single image. I am using multiple images superimposed over each other to capture motion and narrative within the still image. 

I chose daily tasks to demonstrate how even the everyday can show beautiful movement if slowed down just enough.  I’ve added to the visual interest of a surreal color-cast to expand on the hyper-reality of the images.
