approach.
This
project began as a correspondence between pen pals. I became interested in the
roots of communication, namely, the cause and effect created by the
presentation of information. It was a
back and forth of snail mail between two strangers that would lead to the
eventual engagement of life-long lovers, but what was it in the letters that would lead to this growth? What combination of parts of speech made physical
bodies move closer to one another? What fantastic illustrations did language
create to pull on the heart strings? Starting with the original letters as
artifact of this cause and effect of communication, I look to find translation
through different forms of visual mapping to help me better understand this
real time phenomenon. Using the
photographic medium as my control, I lean on photography and its relationship
with truth, to get me closer to comprehending the momentum and the potential in
the inertia of subjects both animate and inanimate. We are all barreling forward
towards both the known and the unknown (sometimes it is called fate); I am
interested in seeing the unseen that gets us there.
