I’ve been interested in the concept of ‘photograph as object’ for a long time. How it feels to hold something, to possess it versus seeing it on a screen. It was this interest plus the recurrent use of my images online without my permission that motivated the series Little Romances.
I have always made very personal work, my emotional state gets translated directly into my images. In sharing this work online, sometimes it is treated with respect and many times not.
By rephotographing my photographs, they become a physical object; my object. I surround them with elements from my garden or other personal objects not to evoke nostalgia or sentimentality but to deepen my physical connection to these photographs and distance them from the viewer.
