SEVEN YEARS AGO I BEGAN TO USE THE COMPUTER TO CREATE IMAGES THAT
DOCUMENTED MY OWN FAMILY HISTORY.
I then started to incorporate family images
from beyond my personal album as a way to create a collective history, one
that would allow people to bring their own memories to my work.
Within these fabricated landscapes, the horizon
suggests endless time, the trees demarcate space, and the fragments of snapshots
verify an actual lived experience. The reassembled figures, their gestures
and expressions, help to create a story that often reflects my own personal
dreams and contemplations.
