Artist Statement:
Statement of the artist
My still life photographs are
sculptural installations,
created environments that give
new meaning to objects, as
their scale is re-addressed
through a new place in space
and time. All of my still
life’s feature found objects,
including objects that in some
manner find me.
Together, you and I make each
photograph a story. I begin
the story with the photograph,
but it is your reactions and
experiences that complete it.
Certainly, I could finish the
story as it relates to me, but
I am far more interested in
the telling of your own story.
The photograph is my vision.
The story is yours.
As an introduction my camera
of chose is a 4x5, I consider
it a medium large format. The
film of choice is Polaroid 59,
there is a look and feel that
can be found no other way. Now
Fuji instant film, as Polaroid
is no longer produced. The
photographs are scanned and
printed as archival pigmented
prints.
I am a collector of thing or
objects. I cannot say what I
collect it varies from day to
day, or year to year.
Ultimately the objects speak
to me, or people have given

| Your Personal Biography |
As if developed from memory, she channels imagery from a familiar past life. Just as the DaDa artists utilized art objects in unconventional forms produced by unconventional methods, West employees coincidence as a means of production. West's images are painterly, presenting themselves as either single entities or still-life constructions and assemblages. Many of her photographs created themselves around the objects she is able to recall a once-forgotten object as a beautiful snapshot of nostalgia and warmth. West considers herself a still-life imagist. A unifying thread of simplicity exists throughout her work -- illustrated though her use of a single light source, timeless and seemingly meaningless objects and shadows -- a combination that evokes a sense of wonder and awe at the images that seem to have sprung from nothing. |
