The USPS, Anatomy, and Me

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. 

(This is a works in progress...)


parts of speech, 1.
