I am working with the camera to create an echo: The message is transforming while repeating and multiplying. I deconstruct and recreate simultaneously. The original image, once evidence of a romantic entanglement, is ripped apart. Spending a weekend upstate, near the water of the dove kill river, I place each piece in the river in a personal performance to then photograph each fragment individually.

Across 19 images I repeatedly display a different fragmented image-piece: like it is a curious thing. Each image represents a piece of an image now floating in a void while the reflective background is mimicking the river and its wetness. While my process is reductive in selecting which pieces of the past to work with, it then becomes generative when images keep flowing out. When editing and selecting, the process becomes reductive and subtractive once again: I take out information to give room for wonder.
