BACK COVER TEXT:

My sustained investigation focuses on how children see the world and how memories differ from reality. Everything seemed magical to me as a child: fantasy was everywhere and I was curious and carefree. 

In my works, I demonstrate the distortion of time by portraying rosy nostalgia, paying attention to details, lighting, and storytelling. Studying nature, architecture, wildlife, and people in pockets of captured time in the form of old photos and Google Maps, I depict memories of my old town in Pennsylvania and fill in the gaps with memories. By creating works that romanticize nature and beauty, such as on page 1, I rely on environments to help tell the story. I utilized wide angle and fisheye perspective on pages 3, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13 to mimic human perception. By exaggerating gestures and expressions in images 3, 7, 10, and 12, I improved the storytelling and then revised page 1 to show this progression. On page 3, I created a physical fairy house with household materials to help get back into my child mindset. I collaged and overlaid old photos on pages 3, 4, and 11, and added gaussian blur and noise filters to reinforce themes of nostalgia.
