In many ways, I think of myself as a director. Situating a still life of mine is like putting on a miniature play. There are costumes, characters and props. I want the plot to be intriguing and clear while I aim to present both drama and comedy. Some of my favorite influences are the theater and film noir. I use artistic touches like graphic backdrops and dramatic spot lighting to give my work a similar visual effect and tone. I eliminate superfluous information and retain only what is essential in design. I involve the audience by creating a focal point relating to the rest of the scene in color, pattern, and form. By removing all other noise, I hope to cause a resounding visual impact, and perhaps a smile.
