I am interested in the interior mirror space of the camera as a picture making tool. Mirrors are used as metaphors in literature and popular culture, as cinematic devices, and are also heavily referenced in art history. A camera both filters and mirrors reality. In Mirror Spaces I turn the camera on the mirror mechanism itself, creating complex layered spaces using salvaged materials and multiple exposures. Working on my father's workshop floor, I gathered discarded bits of wood, paper, metal, acrylic glass and leftover film; materials that contain varying degrees of reflectivity, transparency, and opacity. Arranging and rearranging these materials on the concrete floor I captured the curvature of space through the manipulation of light and time.
