Story Project Statement
For exploring the theme of story telling I have decided to explore it through Photography,Film and Video.
I am exploring the theme of story by creating photographs that resembles cinematic stills that make you ponder the narrative within them.Creating pieces that have no over arching theme but leave it open to the viewer to allow each piece to create a unique story for them.
My video attempts to also do the same thing, a piece with no over arching theme in it but open enough to allow the viewer to create meaning from it.
In my work i have focused on replicating the works of artist such as Gregory crewdson, Bruce gilden or Edward hopper. As these artist works use lighting and narrative frequently, with many of them using unique staging/lighting to create narrative pieces that inspire me.
My photo works such as this, this or this are all examples of my attempt at creating unique images that use staging or lighting to allow the viewer to make and view the story within them. My video work attempt the same thing.
