DANCING IN CIRCLES (series in progress)
In these photographs, glowing spheres articulate a stage: orb-like … orbital … tidal … perhaps lunar. The body moves through them, multiplying, stuttering, and refusing a unitary self. Long exposures smudge duration; shadows echo like a second cast. This is dance, but it resists spectacle. And each frame is a study of thresholds, between figure and field, presence and afterimage. I want the viewer to feel the hush of a theatre without seats, to read the blur as linguistic expression. These are either documents of performance … or better yet, instruments for it. They are scores written in light. Standing before them, I recognize the self that moves and the one that lingers, a juxtaposition of the selfsame body.
