Artist Statement
The Lake House series is a personal narrative that explores the de/construction of familial photographs through collage and re/construction of memory, time, and place. The artist uses photographs from family photo albums as both a visual and thematic resource, focusing on a specific set of photos which reimagines two lake houses seen over two different time periods. This ongoing series has developed into a familial and abstract self-portraiture for the artist.
