Abstract
The artist's statement: Through the influences of the environmental portrait and exploration of self-portraiture, my work aims to highlight the significance of the more mundane aspects of life between my husband and I. Throughout this series of photographs, a narrative takes form, providing a unique view inside the details of one's personal life. By choosing color photography rather than black and white, the work endeavors to be more than a documentary account. The incorporation of natural and artificial light works to evoke a subtle emotional response of connection to the images. The moments the images capture are not uncommon to many relationships and yet they are exclusive within each one. The small features of daily life are often unremarkable and therefore overlooked, yet these small moments provide significance through a sense of knowing in the quietness, augmenting the relationship between loved ones in the day-to-day.
