Artist Statement
Current work of mine alludes to the idea of capturing images without the use of a foreground subject to create a main focus. Recently I have been studying over the works and ideas of photographer Uta Barth and her visual perception of identifying time lapse through the use of blurring in order to capture illustrated scenes. From this, I believe that my work tries to capture surfaces in which light falls onto, and abstracting these areas to cause an uncertain identity. With the use of bracketing and blurring, I try to focus more on how multiple exposures effect the eye rather than the actual meaning behind the photograph. With this in mind, I do not believe my work should be thought about or questioned, but yet observed.

OK fair enough, I can almost imagine what it is you do....but i am troubled by your last sentence. to observe is to think about or consider. I think experience is what you maybe looking for (no pun inten.) or feel/emote/empathize(?) What you are saying seems like you want us- the viewer to look without conciously recognizing? But one last question-and this is for yourself not me, just something to ask yourself- why is this idea important to you? Is it just a cool excersice or is there something else you could find/uncover as you continue to explore the subject?
