Permit Me Voyage (2020)
Guided tour through built world, galactic blueprint unknown, obstacles many but surmountable. Plane of existence similar but slightly altered from reality. Navigable albeit the language is new. To go or not go at all? Permit me voyage, Love, into your hands.
Permit Me Voyage is a return to the photographic sequence as a form of storytelling. All of the images in this body of work were created in reality. Within the waking human world. However, when combined they form a surreal alternate dream universe for the viewer to traverse.
Loosely drawing subconscious inspiration from James Agee's book of poetry and the Hart Crane poem of the same name, Permit Me Voyage plays with perception while commenting on human existence within contemporary society. Intuition and personal spirituality play a large role in the creation of this work, this is photography drawing from inspirations beyond the medium to stimulate conversation around art history, surrealism, and the now.
