About Dioramas
The dioramas in this body of work represent imaginary realities that may or may not relate to the perceived character or personality of the original object. At times the background image becomes the catalyst for the form and content of my images, while other times the object, figure or statue becomes the catalyst.
The content of my images evolves from relationships that I make or discover while studying individual photographs I have taken over many years. Image similarities and contrasts are identified to convey a story and for formal compositional reasons. The final composite image is built through an additive process combining two or more related photographic elements, usually from different sources and different times. My goal is to create a photographic composite with enough information to allow the viewer to interpret the content and meaning of the completed image.
