Artist Statement
The artwork I make has my photography as its base. Using Adobe Photoshop and Prisma, I make three to four variations of the photo and cut the prints into strips. I build the scene on cradled panels layering up pieces from each of the altered photos. In the final layer, I add in pieces of handmade papers, topographical maps, text, fragments from old ledger books or gold leaf to further abstract the scene.
