Contractions of an Amorphous Solid, 2007, 30 x 30" digital inkjet prints, series of 15 photographs

These lunar bubblegum-scapes play with illusion and reality by referencing scientific celestial and/or medical imagery. The bubbles blow, deflate, pop and have bubbles inside bubbles. Like microcosms magically bursting on the screen, the galaxies are born, grow and die.

Over forty years ago when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, space travel was a remarkable achievement and spectacle documented with photos and film, although some still believe it never happened. In this “i-generation,” our technological sense of wonder has disappeared. From iPhones to 600 cable channels, our rapid advancements are now not relished, but expected. Contractions of an Amorphous Solid rekindles our “wow factor” and questions the perception of our personal lives through our ever-increasing lens-based world.
