About the Artwork
The show includes a series of mirror tiles with layers of liquid light painted on the surface that enabled me to print portraits of people doing ritualistic tasks in front of the mirror. When a viewer walks up to a piece to examine it closely, they will find that their reflection is starring right back at them. My intentions were for the audience to be engaged with the piece since these are all tasks that almost anyone can do. I believe that being able to see yourself through someone elses artwork enables one to connect with the work on a higher level. A few of my more recent color portraits will be on display as well. Although I am presenting old material, I am currently focusing on fashion photography.
About the Artist
I am a Senior at Virginia Commonwealth University and I will be graduating in December of 2006 with a Bachelors in Photography. When I have completed this degree I will most likely move back to Northern Virginia/DC Area to work with/assist for local photographers.
