I love to play with the delicate balance between reality/photography/and painting in my process. The captured photographic image interests me more than the original objects, yet the photograph seems insufficient on its’ own. I love the tell tale signs of photography: blurred edges, double images, red edges between dark and light, and harsh cropping. They seem to add a sense of otherworldliness to the subject matter, yet as photographs, those signs don’t feel incorporated into the imagery. The average viewer would ignore them and try to see the image in spite of them. So I take the photographic image and translate it with utmost care into a painting. Once painted, those charming, mysterious telltale signs of photography become fully integrated into the image.
