The works in 'Apophenia' explore the elicit surreal quality that is unique to photography and the different processes that are made capable by its invention.
Though photography is made in the world and is often a supposed documentation of reality, it is the latent qualities of the image, the magic, that make photography inherently more about feeling than its straightforward content. A portrait is never ‘just’ a portrait. He is as interested with what is just outside the image as what makes it into the limits of a rectangle.
The images in this series explore surrealism and magical realism – dreams, nightmares, fantasies, losses, friendships, and queerness. They thoughtfully maneuver through fragments of moments and capture autobiographical experiences and the experience of those closest to him in a delicate way.
