Abstract

Artist’s Statement:

Snow Dune is from a series of work that I created during 2014-2015. This image was captured in the dunes at Duxbury Beach after a snowstorm. I am inspired to create artwork that shows the beauty of the constantly changing beach environments.

While I was creating this artwork, I overlapped multiple images using a Holga medium format camera with 120 Kodak Porta color film. When I overlap my images, this creates a depth in the image that cannot be captured in a single image. The images together create a sense of commotion, causing the viewer to take time to discover what has been created in the image. By overlapping my images, I change how the beach environment appears for my viewer.
