Informed by a background in theatre production, I employ photography to explore our various relationships with nature, suburbia and technology, and the ways in which they overlap.
I’m currently working with photogrammetry to study pot plants. By creating digital and physical echoes of these plants, I hope to question whether imaging processes might alter our perception of an object. Does replicating a 3D model and printing the skin of the model still qualify as a representation of a plant? Did I or the artificial intelligence algorithms create the work? Is it a collaboration with the artificial intelligence? Does any of it matter if the outcome is acknowledged as an artwork?
I enjoy asking these questions and learning what questions other observers find in my work.
