The Comfort Zone takes what is three dimensional and breaks it down to it’s basics. The clean, sharp, and flat characteristics of the photographs are dissectable. They can be broken down into shapes that compose patterns and make for a very pleasing image to look at. Points of interest carefully composed throughout the photographs, structure a narrative for the viewer, yet do not enforce it. The angles and shapes throughout my work echo each other and are in communication with one another, merely hinting at a potential story. The audience does not have to expend a lot of effort in order to understand and enjoy as they are accessible to everyone. The process of creating these photographs is comforting to me as I find a home in the space I create within the borders of my photographs. There is an exigency for comfort and stability during these uncertain times. We’ve maxed out on complexity, we are living it. The refreshing simplicity found in The Comfort Zone is my way of paying the comfort I find in our everyday midwest domestic architecture forward.
