註釋I have always been interested in projection in my photography. The use of projection allows multiple spaces to exist in the same frame. My first foray into projection was with my series: Seek Me Out, where I created projected backgrounds then would photograph myself against these projections. Since arriving at Maryland Institute College of the Art, I have expanded my interest in projection to include found images, whether it is discovered slides from a strangers' vacation or my own vintage family photographs and experimented with projecting these pictures into my present living space. One of my main inspirations to explore projection in three-dimensional spaces is Abelardo Morell. He uses a camera obscura process to project the outside world onto his home. Using a large format camera, he would take a picture of the projected image. He now takes such pictures of rooms all over the world using color and prisms. I enjoyed the way the images wrap around each object mixing the natural and constructed into one photo. I decided to experiment with a similar project. However I choose to projection images onto objects or rooms instead of the usual flat surface. This result of this inspiration is apparent in my work from my first year at MICA involving the found vacation slides. I found these slides in an antique shop and was immediately drawn to them. Most of the pictures show beautiful vistas from across the country. This work titled: Displacement was a project of experimentation involving the fantastic scenes of the outdoors projected onto the banal confines of my new apartment in Baltimore. I had been raised in a small town and I was trying to explore wanderlust and trapped feelings I had about newly living in the city. I would project beautiful slides of mountains, rivers, and forests onto my dinette, my bedroom, and hallway.
