My initial interest in photographing architecture was ignited by the detail-rich interiors of old basilicas while I studied art in Florence, Italy. As an OCAD alumna, I’ve been exploring historical structures, the evolution of new builds and the details that often trigger memories and personal associations. The memories sparked in public spaces are not always parallel to what has occurred in the space but are often tangential smells, feelings or events. It’s this overlapping recollection of events I explore visually in my pieces My digital composite method borrows from a film process of double exposure and the unpredictable effects it reveals. The method relates to how our mind composes our memories; often layering details on top of unrelated events. I create photographic composites by layering images to form a single impression. I'm inspired by interior and exterior gathering spaces; how we inhabit public spaces and the personal experiences that leave indelible marks on us even when the spaces have been demolished or converted. https://coffeecoreconfession.com/
