Artist Statement:

This life-size image is from a series of synthetic architectural interior spaces entitled “Intersections.” Space is as much a virtual or psychological construction as it is a physical reality. The use of computer technology is used to heighten the psychological read of the space while the spaces are charged with artifacts from everyday experience, traditional structures, a shadow, a drawer. These items are arranged in a way to suggest possible narratives, which the viewer will project into the space using their own memories. This process of the projection of our narratives into a virtual space leads to a sense of dislocation and the uncanny.
