Regard It Like A Dove


Regard It Like A Dove is a medium-format photography, digital sculpture and written word hybrid constructed like a quilt, stitching together and layering time, memory, and medium.  The pieces fuse together the past, present and future with the pictorial x, y and z axes of the scene, interjecting figures and stories that never existed. Contrasting these more conceptual elements, a piece of writing describes the emotional experience of contending with memories and narratives, ruminating on the habit of construction and obsession, and the importance of accepting internal and external circumstances.  Furthermore, they build upon one another, weaving a warbling and wiley tale that seems to constantly add layers on top of itself, interpreting and reinterpreting, disrupting while simultaneously synthesizing narratives that never occurred.
