Solastalgia, 2017, created in-camera, is part of a continuing investigation of nature, time, transience, loss and technology’s mediation and fragmentation of reality. In the work, the sun is represented by a vintage 1970’s glass globe lamp which belonged to my paternal grandmother. The lamp, now in my studio, resided for decades in the living room of 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.
