Artist Statement

I explored long exposure photography for this collection to show movement of light when it is able to be captured freely. I was curious to explore what light looks like over-time without being captured within boundaries of a still photograph.  I wanted to explore what it would look like to make images using different drawing techniques and light sources. I printed this piece in a large quantity of small photographs because of the immense amount of patterns and images that are able to be created by utilizing different light sources and exposure lengths. Different light sources gave me the ability to utilize different colors as well as changing the brightness and intensity of the light. The light sources were moved around in different ways to create abstract designs. I also used lights that were not being moved, and experimented with different patterns I could create by experimenting with different camera settings instead of the light source itself. Enjoy!
