Artist Statement

Works in my “Edges of Memory” portfolio are composites created through the digital layering and piecing together of multiple images and altering color, contrast, exposure and other elements in order to give added depth and meaning to the final image.

“Edges of Memory” concerns itself not with things as they are but with how we remember them—memory as an altered reality, surreal and dreamlike. Memories are the shadows and forms that remain as the details of past experiences fade with time. Reality gives way to illusion and authentic places become imbued with the intangible emotions and impressions evoked by them, thus giving them a discrete presence in our minds. Many of the images are symbolic of the journeys and passages we undertake in our lifetimes, and of the passage of time and the deterioration of both memory and matter.
