As a child I was saddened by the realization that most moments were lost after a lapse of time and relatively few memories remained to link oneself to a past history. In a effort to retain more from the constant death of past seconds I pretended my eyes were lenses from a camera and would burn arbitrary images combined with a mental association. A fleeting image of a blurry cluster of tall trees while on a family vacation is now permanently associated with the essence of youth. The transient, often over looked moment, is the theme of my current work. I challenge myself to select scenes from my everyday life I may normally tune out as subject matter as an exercise of avoiding patterns of selective seeing. Our preconceived ideas are often distorted and only with an open-minded observation can one fully appreciate the layers of depth in any one given second. Currently living in the urban/suburbs the subject matter has tackled my daily life. There is a universal nature to the routine in our lives, I hope to bring forth a new perspective to those forgotten moments that consists of the majority of our life.
