I Won’t Be Here explores the linear movement of light, desire, and time. In the pursuit of abstraction to create speculative narratives, this series uses various photographic techniques within alternative process methods, including reflective and archival materials, in-camera and darkroom manipulation. This body of work is a non-representational response and visual analysis to objective and subjective ideas in photography as it relates to the individual lived experience of everyday life and internal contemplations. I essentially ‘won't be here’ as I have been in the near future, once I complete this body of work, in a way it is a farewell to the ways in which I've existed in my artwork up until now.
