Panoramosaics

This is my gallery of large-scale digital photographs. These panoramas of famous tourist attractions are made of 25 to 85 snapshots edited together into "mosaics," or "joiners."

I hope to distill a sense of immense space and the passage of time. My aesthetic is inspired by NASA’s mosaic maps, David Hockney’s joiners and the neurobiology of sense and interpretation.

We don’t view the world around us wholly and in an instant, but in fragments as our eyes move in saccades from detail to detail. Its phenomenal how our brain can envision 3-D space out of a random stream of 2-D snapshots from each eye.

My work is compelled by the tension of capturing a 3-D world on a 2-D surface and arranging slightly mismatched photos in an orderly layout. I like to think that tension is what occurs between our retinas and our cortex.
