Multiples
There is two of me. One maybe more childlike than the other. Either way they're both there. They creep out at different times, change me in different ways. I sometimes feel like I don't exist. I'm stuck inside unable to control a thing. But I dont mind, I just sit back and enjoy the chaos that radiates from my mind.

about the photographer
I am a 23 year old Canadian photographer, with a focus on large format photography and self portraiture. I use photography to express the complex trauma and mental illnesses that are a part of my daily life. My body and self are the subject of my work, which places me behind and in front of the camera as the sole source of creativity and creation. My photographic process to date revolves around the objectivity and malleability of film photography. The negative is never seen as precious, I bite, scratch, and cut them up as a means of supporting and fortifying the intent of the imagery. I use my body, motion, emotion, and expression to portray the internal, externally. My constant goal is to create work that means something, work with a purpose. With this series my goal was to create a body of work that is a physical portrayal of feelings, that could be understood and felt by all who bear witness.back to gallery
