I see what I see with my eyes. I also see with an inner eye that transforms what is before me. The hand, the camera lens and my computer assist to capture and show what I really want to see.
Haptic visuality can be described as touching with the eyes. Viewing a textured or blurred image seems to make us want to reach out and touch it, explore it further. This blog explores haptic visuality, transparency and the notion of folds through digital photography.
As an artist, I am interested in capturing the body, especially in states of real or imagined transformation, evoking the real of the unreal or the unreal of the real, where darkness, transparencies and folds combine to show various forms of dynamic corporeal and psychical stases—dreamlike states lived by the sensate body in unreal worlds, experiences that shape who we are in the real world. Elements of time, memory, natural textures, rebirth and sensuality imbibe these still, intimate worlds.
