I've always treated the content of my photographs and digital images as found
objects. Photographic film's ability to record objects with high definition and
fidelity has always attracted me. With the camera I come along a natural scene
and record it with great clarity, in essence a found object or objects if you
will. With digital imaging I have the ability to bring into the computer pieces
of old artworks (history) and collected objects (touchstones), which I can then,
layer and collage to create new works of art with the same clarity and fidelity
as my photographs. One could say it gives me the ability to appropriate or sample
myself.
