Digital Photography with found images
My images are heavily based upon my love for cinema and toys, specifically scenes that I imagined when playing as a child. The playful nature of mixing together random figurines and toys into an impossible scenario was the foundation of my work. I wanted to create something that twisted reality just enough to draw you in, but was also grounded and relatable. These miniatures became quite distinctive to me, having spent so much time with them. I now see them as a perfect canvas instead of a puzzle and realizing what fits in a particular scene is a fun challenge.
