The series of photographs I have taken serves to lock into the perspective from which the work is made. Each photograph captures a singular moment abstracts forms derived from a specific site. The photographs integrate light, shadow, and formal elements within layers of materials and the site itself in an attempt to perplex the eye of the viewer while hinting at the making process. I am collapsing space and playing with the viewer s perception by altering their visual field. My artwork addresses the dynamic nature of light.en-USArtPhotographyInstallationPerceptionLightThesispublic
