Fragmented Reality
Fragmented Reality breaks down digital photographs to their binary code, transforming that code through multiple technical processes, ultimately rendering new images that are no longer explicitly tied to the original material. With each translation, something is lost and something else is gained. The pictures that result from the process are suggestive of landscapes, at once unsettling and hypnotizing, placing viewers in a broad set of alternate realities, each created from hundreds of small, compounding modifications to a single piece of information.
The collection includes twelve framed archival pigment prints and various smaller “reality fragments” for sale. Read more here.
In Practice
Book Workshops
I offer private, in-person bookmaking workshops for creatives in the Asheville, NC area. These are ideal for:
- A visual artist who wants to create a designed maquette and is overwhelmed about where to start
- A writer who is curious about uniquely combining text and image
- A hobbyist who wants to turn a photo collection into a compelling narrative
Many creative workshops are one-directional, with a facilitator who imparts guidance and knowledge. I’m interested in the power of working two-directionally, with both myself and the participant working on books concurrently, inspired by the projects we bring to the table, learning by making. Each session is tailored to the participant’s individual project needs and intended outcomes.
Workshop Length: 4 weeks, 2 hours per week. Workshops can be arranged to fit into any schedule.
Materials and Equipment: Participants have access to two wide-format inkjet printers for creating dummies, mockups, and other prints. Additionally, the studio always has an assortment of papers and bookbinding materials for use. Participants are free to use the studio however they would like during our time together, including storage of material.
Price: $600
Materials Fee: $50
Critiques
3by is a quarterly critique series hosted at the studio for local artists who are interested in engaging in dynamic conversations with a range of creatives to further their projects.
