solastalgia, 2017, (pictured above) is exhibiting in steal my sunshine, curated by marlee katz snow and collect bean. created using a variety of experimental techniques and made in-camera, solastalgia, 2017 is part of an ongoing investigation of nature, time, transience and loss, and the increasing impact of technology’s mediation and fragmentation of reality. in the work, the sun is represented by a vintage 1970s glass globe lamp which belonged to my paternal grandmother. the lamp, now in my studio, resided for decades in the living room of a family lake house, a gathering place for the extended family, a place of healing after loss. the everyday object in this picture-within-a-picture turns a beacon of absence into a grand source of light that continues to illuminate, while the role of the image, and its ever-advancing significance in the way we experience reality, looms large
