Beach Transparencies: Beyond the Surface
“In these surreal series I work with dimension, layering images printed on transparencies separated by plexiglass, which creates visual depth and gives the work a holographic effect, which is related to how we see reality — as a multidimensional vision, and not a flat surface. I call these images Beach Transparencies: Beyond the Surface. I use plexiglas and photographs floating within separate realities to demonstrate that surface and depth can be joined by perception. I utilize layered transparencies as my grammar. As we walk on a beach we see both what is there and also what could be.”
