These figures were created from images found in printed media. I imagined
their mass and depth from the 2-D printed images on paper and then sculpted
them into 3-D figures. I then flattened the completed figures and put them
into frames. Each step of the process created a greater distance from the
once living thing that was captured on film.This process of transforming is
a way to make physical the process of understanding how objects are perceived
and what is lost in that process. The work is about the understanding that
comes from distancing oneself from an object. This whole process is a confirmation
of what is lost by acquisition and acquired by loss.
