What She Thought Was There

What is it when you think you see something out of the corner of your eye? You are at home, in the most familiar of spaces, yet something was just there that doesn’t quite belong. Perhaps it was simply a bug or a shadow. Sometimes in your attempt to overcome the discomfort of sharing your space with something that may not even exist you find the only thing you can do is empower yourself by occasionally acknowledging it and allowing it to stay. These photographs are of myself and of my home. They are made in a way as to suggest that an outside entity, possibly a stranger to the surroundings, is the photographer. The framing and perspective of the space and subject are often awkward and suggest a manipulation of scale. Conventions of spatial organization are disrupted when corners are pulled away, proportions are lost, and the point of view creates a puzzle.
