“All my work is shot on lm
in a camera, and larger works are printed in the darkroom as digital C-prints, from high-resolution lm scans. I still use a camera so that I can experiment with the lm, with the light, and with the environment I’m shooting in. There is a looseness in using lm similar to paint on canvas. I’ve been working with the same camera since college so I understand it
really well.
When I look back on a moment it’s full of impressions and multiple exposures capture this. I make multiple exposures on speci c frames in camera, which allows me to display a more complete correlation of experi- ences that a single exposure just misses.
Every moment captured on lm is over as soon as the shutter clicks, recording the ephemeral. Yet, in real- ity, there is always a visual cacophony of experience. We are always living in many realities at once. Mul- tiple exposures express the way we experience the world more accurately.”
