In contemporary North American society there is an emphasis on rationality and reason, yet the main vehicle for understanding the world around us and deciphering information, the mind, is limited, and highly dependent on memory which is filled with gaps and filters.

Found and personal photographs are concealed, blurred and faded using layers of paint, and sheets of mylar.  The content and the imagery in the work are intended to move back and forth over the line between ambiguity and recognition.  The intention is to create a visual experience that has a similar effect to that of a Rorschach test.  Subtly, weakness and ambiguity are utilized to illuminate the viewers need to categorize, the minds discomfort with what it does not understand and the malleability of interpretation. This series aims to reveal the truth by concealing and manipulating it.

The original work is visually delicate and transitory.  The viewer sees more of the image from further back but the closer one approaches the work, the more obfuscated it becomes.  From up close, the image almost completely disappears.
