Artist Statement

In the twilight zone between the waking world and sleep, our perceptions often become confused, abstract and blurred. In this hypnagogic state, the brain begins to let go of logic and linear thinking, creating a unique experience that can be both beautiful, frightening and confusing. By using long exposure and motion blur (ICD, In Camera Distortion) the artist captures the dreamlike and abstract transitional stage between wakefulness and sleep. With the artists enduring fascination for the contrast between highlights and shadows, stillness and movement, dream and reality, this becomes a perfect tool to describe how the normal becomes abstract and
bizarre, where reality blurs out and disappears.
