1. Michael Raedecker’s work was truly inspiring and one that I enjoyed out of the lectures. Playing on his ideas of home and its comforts and then making them eerie, I thought of family photographs. Every family has their photographs that act as mementos to remember certain times, moments, or those we have lost. We all have these photographs and put our own memories to them. So I took photographs and cropped the heads off. While this may seem eerie it shows how anyone can associate a memory with these photographs.
2. I have always had a somewhat rocky relationship with my home environment. To me it is a puzzle based on stress and anxiety. I have always been extremely independent from my parents and have chosen to lead my path separately from my family. This image explores this idea. From my first step, I have always been somewhat on my own. To me, home is only a state of mind – something that I consider negative and almost haunting. My childhood is something that I have always explored within my art.
