These photographs focus on how my son constructs the environment around him. This
collaborative work between the two of us is a way of engaging him as a subject and
participant through his heightened sense of form, color, and composition, directed by my
awareness of art and photography. My approach to creating these images is within the context
of how he sees a situation and my interpretation of how his minds works. In this performance
toys and stacked household objects turn into sculptures, and my son becomes an inquisitive
character within this constructed realm. By describing these moments and fabrications,
I complicate the experience of childhood, and simultaniously create images about the
complexities of his sophisticated sense of construction.
