What lies beyond the surface? Beyond the familiar? This series of photographs challenges the well-worn phrase, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” inviting you to reconsider the creative process itself. Through mirrored reflections and cast glass, the works explore duality—effort and flow, precision and intuition, tension and release.
This series of photographs delve into the complexities of the artistic process, challenging the conventional adage, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." The works trace the evolving relationship between material, light, and form, transforming fleeting moments of creation into photographic impressions.
At the heart of the series is a dialogue between emotion and reflection—both literal and conceptual. Inspired by the psychological depth of Rorschach test imagery, the photographs introduce glass on mirrored surfaces to evoke the dual nature of artistic practice. The reflection serves as both an imprint of progress and a record of tension, capturing the meditative yet demanding process of working with glass.
By incorporating mirrored reflections, the photographs invite viewers to look beyond the surface, encouraging a deeper exploration of the creative process. They challenge us to consider what lies beyond the lemonade. If we choose to make lemonade, does it lead us to a place of true flow and artistic expression?
