In my room contains various layers of information relating to the artist, subject, and a mutual exchange between the two. The photographic work seeks to explore the psyche of complex individuals. Each girl, while physically existing in the natural world, also thrives in another realm, an insular dream state, with her gaze turned inward. The portraits exist as both fictional and autobiographical creations (growing up with my mother and sister in the Midwest). Relating to the temporary situation of childhood, I am fascinated by individuals’ imagination and intensity of experience. Visually exploring the young girls’ stances and embellished environments, the audience enters into a private world of vulnerability, isolation, imagination and memory.
