Each picture has to do with a moment for the body, from the inside and outside. Imaginary extensions of myself and other social actors, histories and symbols are participants in abrupt moments of witness and action. Those moments aren’t bound to a uniform intensity or purpose. The contradictoriness of experience, the exchange between being an agent and a passenger at the same time, and the humor and clumsiness in never being able to totally know the balance of this exchange, is the fuel for the work.
