"Updating Scene"
I am interested in the relationship between the actual
objective experience of looking at a scene and the subjective
interpretation of the same scene. The simple definition
of the word "scene" also includes both physical scenes
as well as a psychological integration with “harmonious
nature." This dualism became an important departing point
for me to investigate and deconstruct my experience with
specific scenes. Upon encountering a scene which I may
find beautiful or pleasing, I ask myself what it is that
I was looking at in this specific landscape and find fragments
of self with in that landscape. This might include something
that I heard, something that I saw, memories, experiences,
etc… Through this recognition of fragmented self within
a landscape, I start to build my art works. With my recent
project, I have been using my photographs as an initial
point of departure, to which I may add or subtract information.
Through this repeated process of addition and subtraction,
I try to transform an original photograph into a more
personal and meaningful state. In short, artwork for me
has been my process of investigation to find my subjective
experience with a landscape as well as my life as a whole.
