The line between reality and illusion is not fixed. The sun goes down and for a few brief moments the magic hour blurs the edges, turning landscape into dreamscape. Reality represented by sunlight and illusion by shadows is no longer true once the sun sets. The shadows stand as good a chance of being reality as the lights.
In my work, I use any medium (video, collage, bricolage, painting, light, etc.) to explore people and objects that contain a confusion of light and dark within them. Texture and layering, which go hand in hand, are ways of building light and dark. Whether the texture is from dust, debris, or pigment, the important outcome is building a surface that catches light in a variety of ways. Layering is a game of hide and seek.
