Sutures
Sutures: stories with seams
I’m telling you stories. Trust me. – Novelist Jeanette Winters [The Passion]
Influenced by my background in film editing and painting, I create vignettes that star friends, family, and myself -- in single or double frames. These "characters" become the subject of one still; the complement is a forsaken place symbolizing ghosts of the past. I attempt to pictorally capture the intensity of feelings and dynamics between two or more people in non-moving images, and the relationship we have to the physical spaces we inhabit, and the collision of fabrication and reality.
Though the work is extremely intimate, it is meant to function on many levels, as the specific becomes the general. The intensity of the personal narrative comes through in feelings of fear and joy; disappointment and hope; longing, desire, and attainment.
