Statement

This work explores how a narrative moment can be static while suggesting movement and the passing of time. The Hollywood flat is a prop used in westerns to create the illusion of deep space. In my work the flat is the protagonist that suggests the narrative while simultaneously revealing its illusory role. Here the viewer has the opportunity to travel behind and between the scenes allowing the narrative to become both abstraction and spectacle.
