Looking for a space

It took me so long to find my voice in school. For years I could emulate many things, explored different kinds of art, but it was only in my last year of grad school that I really started hitting on something that just clicked. I was taking photos like I had wanted to for years and finding a way to bring those delightful textures into a transformation that gave the viewer a similar feeling that I felt. Place really does influence and thats why it’s so good to spend some time abroad or even hopping over to a new city or province that will change the way you think and make. I still photograph in a very Irish style I believe. Dark and moody for the most part.  I still haven’t found a place though that the collages came from. Coming back to Alberta and especially Calgary I have found myself looking for a space in which I can express my voice and language. Most photography here is extremely bright coloured, iconic places and wildlife. But maybe it’s all the better to stand out instead of blending in.
