No Endings Series

Artist Statement:

" 'Reality means you live until you die,’ the agent says. ‘The real truth is nobody wants reality’"
-Exerpt from “Survivor” written by Chuck Palahniuk

Within literature, there are three factors at play: Character emotions, reader emotions and the far more obscure author emotions. As one reads a novel, an interactive experience occurs, a conversation between the reader and the author. This concept was of a great interest to me as I created this series. It was my hope to portray not necessarily a direct scene from a chosen book, instead to illustrate certain emotions experienced within the novel itself.

These images were staged, a moment between others, a pause between the before and after of an event.

Books are a place for us to escape within, and it is my thought, that photographs may serve the same purpose. As one views a photograph, I like to imagine that this moment as well is a conversation between artist and viewer.

Dance

These are from the shows "structures" and the "choreography design project". These shows were so unbelievable, the dancers were so talented and had amazing skill. They made it look easy.
