Force Fields
Photographic Series: 60”x60” Cibachrome Photographs
Forced Fields is a photographic series that explores ideas about the pressures of daily life through the playful use of the children’s toy, an inflatable balloon. Using balloons as an alternative material to project into, onto, and around, the image transforms into mesmerizing spheres of personal and psychological interaction. The balloon, filled with our own air, becomes a thin, transparent membrane that is simultaneously delicate, mutable, and explosive. Both become lenses that examine not only the role of the photographic image but our lives as well.
