Things that deviate from what is standard, normal, or expected…. In this series I strive to create images that evoke animated beings; completely made up life forms with personality. I stage assemblages in a variety of natural surroundings of either man-made or natural materials; the set-ups are essentially ephemeral “sculptures”. I take digital photographs of these assemblages then using my computer I alter the images using various drawing and photography software programs to layer, re-color then re-manipulate even more until I have deviated from the norm to create my “beings”. Working digitally with my computer allows me to see in new ways; it allows me to be surprised by the outcome and the possibilities.
