Being In Two Places At Once

Being In Two Places At Once​ combines photographs from two different places into one image. These came about from the longing of home in New Mexico and living in a new home in Wisconsin. Using a medium format camera, rolls of film were first exposed in Wisconsin over a period of time then re-wound and saved for a 1500 mile journey to New Mexico where they were re-exposed and then back again to Wisconsin for developing, thus traveling nearly three thousand miles. The images reveal a resemblance of two completely different geographical locations, but also similarities. I ask the viewer to examine two places at once and to consider what it may be like to have a visual record of the environments we live in, in comparison to the places we long for.
