Drawing from narratives of metamorphosis and manifestations of the unknown, this body of work conjures the spirit of magic through photography. As objects waver between states of being, the camera is used as a tool for performing this magic and exploring unseen worlds. Inherently linked to trickery and provoking the tension between fiction and truth, the medium naturally forces us to question reality while navigating the space between the visual and the ethereal. Ectoplasm, plaster materializations, and visible auras provide evidence of objects changing physical shape and occupying new space. By offering something tangible in exchange for the immaterial, the resulting images become visual documents of a world existing just outside the realm of our sight.
