Animals

In this fanciful project, I imagine what would happen if children’s toy animals came to life and established themselves in a house setting. Where would they hang out, play or build houses?
​
Just as the animals integrate themselves into the house environment I have tried to formally integrate them into the photographic frame.

I am very interested in the process of creating a photograph step by step, element by element; putting together a collage of objects and colors where all elements are crucial to the integrity of the whole composition. I am striving for a democracy of values where seemingly insignificant background details are an integral part of the photographs. In all cases I have strived, in a painterly way, for a unified whole and a formal clarity. ​
