The photographer Daido Moriyama once said ‘Most of what I want simply slips away like water flowing through a net, and always what remains are only vague, elusive fragments of images... that sink into countless strata in my mind.’
Inspired by the temporality of our existence and our inherent need to try to hold on to something, my work delves into the intricate crossroad between place and imagination, memory and dream. Forming after images of these reveries that are deeply personal yet universally resonant.
The pieces are layered and created with the softness and fluidity of ink. Each step of the process takes parts away, the images fade and distort, into a felt representation, an imitation of intangible emotion.
The water in the black ink of the stencils blurs the strict contours of reality and the prints become the ghost of what was. To me the only thing that we really fail to understand or grasp at, in our finite human experience is this transience, the impermanence of us and our experiences. The one thing that makes it meaningful and the one thing that takes everything from us in the end. Our memories are a morbid charm.
At the heart of my creation process lies this ephemeral nature of memory within the ethereality of dreams, what we keep and how we keep it, those little treasures in our mind. Like snow globes of moment and fantasy, each work is a visual ode to the places we have been and the dreams we have dreamt.
They are wrapped with our stories into fantastical landscapes.
To commemorate the mythical sanctuaries we create, everything that makes us a mosaic of our experiences.
Think of a dream and think of its voyage.
