Photographical documentation has given us the opportunity to re-experience the past. Unfortunately, while capturing the present to reflect upon in the future, we miss the true moment we are standing in, sacrificing the actual experience for a weak watered down version for us to enjoy later.
With Merging Time, I am recreating an experience through combining a two dimensional digital print and three dimensional crocheted wool and cotton textile stones. I extend the image into our space and time and therefore provided a means in which to encounter a moment in the present again by responding and interacting with a fibrous medium, one traditionally of comfort. I wanted the viewer to notice a separation of the two moments, past and present, but simultaneously recognize how those two spaces can become one and relate to each other, like the retrieval of a memory. I wanted to intensify the properties of a photograph and make it not only a dive into the past, but become a new space in the present.
