New Work/ Inspiration 1-11-15

Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison are a duo photography team. They create landscapes and surreal visions with faded colors and incomplete stories, which show the relationship between nature, technology and human kind. Their use of scenery, space and color are what inspire me to revisit my work from last spring; their photos have a lot of depth and detail put into the background, while the subjects are never fully identified and their actions are never fully clear, always ambiguous. Gautier’s Dream is the series I am specifically drawing from ParkeHarrison. In Gautier’s Dream, they specifically play between the themes of life and death by creating visions of bizarre relationships with human kind, animals, technology, and the fine line between life and the paranormal. The movements of the subjects are always blurred, and the dynamic between humans and animals is always otherworldly. I continue to look to ParkeHarrison for inspiration for my works.
