Mis-ce-ge-na-tion
I have always had an interest in personal identity and the creation and perception of identities. In this work I aim to create a narrative based on the relationship between two characters and to take them out of the regular photographic format of the rectangle or square. I also explore the picture plane by having sections of the image extend or recede from being completely flat. The characters are placed in an alternate world by removing the background and cutting out the desired objects, layering them on the wall to give a slightly 3D effect. This turns the characters into objects for the viewer to project their own views onto and to play with in their mind.
