Underphotos

Underphotos
2008 - 2010

Underphotos is a series of photographs of the framed photographs that hang in my parents' house. By photographing them at an angle, I capture reflections on the glass surface of the picture frame. Rather than ofering a window to a different time or distant place, the picture frame becomes a mirror, a companion to the here and now. These works are framed under acrylic so the surface can again reflect the room in which the work hangs.

"...there is a coherence in things, a stability; something she meant, is immune from change, and shines out (she glanced at the window with its ripple of reflected lights) in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral, like a ruby; so that again tonight she had the feeling she had had once today, already, of peace, of rest. Of such moments, she thought, the thing is made that endures."

— To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
