I came to Dunedin to spend a semester at the Otago Polytechnic School of Art with the intention of broadening my view of the art world beyond America. My art is greatly influenced by my experiences, and it is through the experience of living in Dunedin that I started the series Vagrant Disposition. My intent with this project is to effectively convey the personal experiences and feelings involved with my time in New Zealand within a body of work that represents the growth of my aesthetic and theoretical “style” as manifested over the past four years. I address ideas that have appeared in my work in the past such as the self, personal perception, visual disorientation, the questionable reality of photographs, mixing of mediums, alternative display methods, photographs as memories, and interaction as well as destruction of the “precious” photographic object.
