“I like the word believe. In general, when one says ‘I know’, one doesn’t know, one believes.” - Marcel Duchamp
I am a photographic artist who creates fictionalized portraits of farm animals, a deliberately playful method, functioning as a disruption of our belief that photographs portray factual realism.
Photography seamlessly blends fact and fiction, creating a perfected vision so overwhelming, we find ourselves helpless to resist it. I invite the viewer to question the veracity of the images we consume every day, opening up the possibility for every photo to suggest a deeper, hidden authenticity.
I cast a magic, technological spell, enabling these farm animals to recraft their roles of the overlooked and neglected, establishing a space of their own. My photographs feature a concealed part of our society, bringing their otherness back into our world.
