In 1995 I began to create visual narratives using images of objects in sequence to convey an emotion, experience, or memory. Through juxtaposition, these objects reveal surprising associations. Recently I have been layering negatives (and sometimes positives) so that the sequences are collapsed into a single image. In these combined images there exists a rupture between history/culture, time/space, and object/narrative. It is the friction between these opposing positions that lend the work its meaning. This work continues to mine the metaphorical relationships between people, objects, and images.  Second Thoughts are visual narratives built from ideas extending out of my personal experiences. The primary content of this series explores sexuality, domesticity, and images of women in our culture. Through the combination of appropriated archival representations with contemporary iconic figures I seek to engage the viewer in a dialogue that questions the nature of our relationships to these and other subjects. By varying the context of the objects (now images) I hope to create an occasion for the viewer to reconsider their own process of constructing meaning from literal and poetic sources.
