the weekend
artist statement

Time is the structure that prevents everything from occurring at once, it bestows order, it is unalterable,
unstoppable, relentless. And yet, we still wish we could edit and reconstruct it to our own liking.

What if, as with a string, we could fold time onto itself and extract the temporal distance between two
points. What if we could bring two events together and stitch them into a single incident. Photography
allows for the flow of time to be broken apart into something malleable. Not a fan of weekdays, I have
edited them out leaving nothing but an assemblage of saturdays and sundays.



In The Weekend, two different photographs are joined vertically within a single frame, which creates a
disorienting “push and pull” between foreground and background. Using in-camera masks, my works
are grafted into a simultaneity that challenges the eye; scenes are brought together but never completely
blended. These works constantly shift the viewer’s focus between competing subjects, juxtaposing scenes
of leisure with landscapes.

Perception is a recurring theme within my practice, and has become a foundation for me to explore the
possibilities and limitations of photography. When time and space are dissected and spliced, cut and
pasted, a new interpretation of temporality emerges that is dual, parallel, bi-lateral.
