Crystal’s Work

2010
Paper Collage 11"x14"
Silver Gelatin Prints 5"x7" (Set of 13 Photos)

These photographs and collages are the artistic creations of Crystal, a fictional teenage girl character I developed for my video installation, “Playback”. I designed the collages to be standalone artworks by Crystal complete with her signature, while some elements of them were incorporated as animations within the video installation. The Photo Diary consists of 13 black and white photographs, each measuring 5 x 7 inches, some of which were inspired by my own early-teen photographs. Both the photographs and collages were carefully crafted to enhance my video installation, “Playback”, and provide deeper insights into Crystal's character.
