The photographic image is both a form of fiction and a reference to the real. While visiting Vallauris, France, making photographs, I was inspired by the picturesque landscape and the warm Mediterranean Sea, as well as the experience of travel and the emotional displacement of finding myself as a foreigner far from home. As I moved through the world, breathing, walking, seeing, I find both familiar and strange feelings in each day. I created order and found comfort through my camera and the act of photography in depicting the complexity of these moments. Later in the studio, I projected the images onto ceramic forms that resemble waves, forms made by gently folding clay into abstract shapes. I recapture the moments, mediated and distorted by the process, like the new memories forming in my mind. They are recognizable, strange, and misleading. The camera mediates my every experience.
