This work covers an ongoing project begun two years ago, representing an expansion of my approach to my long-held interest in landscape photography. I have always had a strong fascination with marginal spaces, urban, suburban and rural. It is through this continued exploration that this project emerged. Through a series of happy accidents and coincidental influences, I began to experiment with how multiple viewpoints might better document a space. From this starting point, I began to realize that I was not only describing spaces that were fundamentally interesting to me, but also discovering how to relate to these spaces in new ways.
At the core of this exploration is working with diptychs. What excites me specifically about working with diptychs are between the two views of the same subject. Examining a landscape through two viewpoints is the essential collisions they create. The play between connection and disconnection as well as “same versus different” configures and reconfigures space in ways that continually become more resonant and challenging to me.
