I have currently been exploring questions of visual perception and of what is real in my photographic works. During the Symbiosis Collective group shows (1993-1995) I explored these questions with "camouflage" art. Photos were taken of details on the walls, floors, etc., developed on a 1:1 scale, and exhibited by being placed over what they were of (floor on floor, wall on wall). The effect was that when viewed from a certain angle, the photos were indistinguishable from what they covered.

Photos were also taken of soap in a sink, feces in a toilet, etc., and developed as above. The soap was removed, the toilet flushed, and the photographs placed in the sink, toilet, thus representing the nonexistent as well as camouflaging the hidden "truth" behind them. One would look into a sink and see soap that was no longer there, therefore a question of presence and memory were evoked.
