Fractional Landscapes

This project explores the physical and emotional experiences of moving through natural and built environments, and our attempts to conjure and express these sites in memory. As ever-smaller bits of information from myriad sources bombard us on countless channels, our ability to form a coherent vision of our worlds—both collective or individual—is nearly impossible. These images—with distortions, fault lines, mashups, breaks and bends made in-camera—attempt to depict this aspect of contemporary life and give viewers an analog for the sense of dislocation and anxiety that accompanies it. On a more personal note, the project has its origins in the final year of my mother’s deadly descent into Alzheimer’s. The experience of witnessing her dissipation, her unwinding, is also reflected in this work. Read more.
