Photography

Domestic Seas

The title of the work refers to the invisible boundary between two bodies of water that can only be distinguished if one is situated on one side or the other. I am limiting and simplifying the amount of access that I have to landscape, with the intention of expanding its definition. The images are depictions of a physical space that is both inside and outside—literally created by pointing my camera at of mirrors, windows, and walls inside cramped interiors, in this case, in bathrooms.

The photographs may visually correspond to images of landscape, but more likely belong to a set of images fitted somewhere in between plausible places and what one might conjure when thinking of the idea of landscape. In photographing that very boundary between personal and distant, inside and out, day and night, I am witness to an alternate definition of landscape.

The photographs are an experimental play between image and object, reflecting a bodily presence and interiority manifested both in the spaces photographed and in the scattered subjectivity implicit in this act of viewing.
