Photo processes, rather than straight black and white or color photography
inspires me to continue fine art photography. The images are unique, in that
each print comes out differently. I have to carefully decide what images to
work with, considering the amount of time that goes into each piece. Often,
I start with a vintage family photograph which I sometimes match with text.
One series explores how I see stereotypes in a humorous manner. All my work
is personal, often based on actual experiences.
The pieces included
are from my "Hispanic Series". This series of cyanotypes on watercolor
paper uses text clipped from magazines geared towards Hispanics (the words
are often taken completely out of context), along with family photographs
borrowed from my parents, to create images intended to poke fun at my "brown-ness".
