These stereoscopic photographs are about the act of looking, about photography and perception. They can be projected and viewed with inexpensive cardboard glasses or shown in white 3d printed stereoscopes. I use stereoscopy to call attention to the way in which vision functions within our bodies and to make the point, that stereo can disrupt the traditional Cartesian structure of vision. It reminds us about the process of seeing, perception and being looked at while looking. Stereoscopic 3D space and black backgrounds are used as an imagined, subjectless space, one with no referents, eluding to a dream space or imaginary space. The stereoscopic effect of space in film and photography positions the viewer in an extremely individualized spatial matrix within the 3-D world. These works are shown as passive 3-D projections using a double projector, or as prints in white stereoscopes that are wall mounted and made of 3-d printed plastic. Most of my work is optical and forces the viewer to position him or herself in a particular way in order to see the work.

These works span a variety of themes from whimsy to the political or satirical - they pose philosophical questions and can fit into many exhibition themes.   The addition of non-descriptive text taken from old literary sources adds to the multi faceted connotations that arise from the work. As Allan Sekula notes “the photograph is an incomplete utterance of some sort, a message that depends on some external matrix of conditions and presuppositions for its readability.”
