...I was originally inspired by a dance practice called Contact Improvisation, which is based on moment to moment choices that we make in relation to our environment and others. After experiencing 9/11 with the rest of the world; witnessing how one entity initiated contact with us, how we chose to respond, and how our relationship with those responsible and with the rest of the world has changed as a result of the choices all have made, I found this one-on-one dance practice to be a profound metaphor.
All of the mages in this series were done using photographs taken during a single contact improvisation session. Most of them are done on canvas with a separate translucent mesh image overlay. All are printed, painted, pierced, and some, backlit with custom LED light panels. This unique technique results is an almost holographic effect.
