Throughout time, humans have created technologies to better deal with the world they inhabit; however, due to the snowballing speed of this present human-made age, scarcely any reflections on the repercussions of technologies are articulated, and humans treat their own creations as if they were part of nature. Story telling traditions that allowed for explanation and example - filling a basic human need - are increasingly replaced by technology, particularly in Western culture. Individuals in both entertainment and government are designed - through ritualistically commercialized and pervasive visual representations - to be celebrated as mythological gods, and television has become the collective consciousness. Technology not only serves in this moment as a replacement for mythology, but technology also, like mythology, maintains and determines the cultural structure. Examining mythologies from all cultures - like examining technology - reveals the trends, values, and biases that construct the foundation upon which societies and cultures are built. Photography, invented in the 1800s, is a human made technology that I use as the primary medium of my work. Focusing on photography’s elemental component of light, in this age of digital photography, I concentrate on alternative processes: Cyanotypes, Platinum Palladium, Polaroid emulsion lifts, Liquid Emulsion on Blown Glass, Salt Prints, and Cliché-Verre - a process of hand painting glass negatives, which reached the height of its popularity in the mid to late 1800s. By using photographic alternative processes now, a reference to the human-made history of the medium is made, which parallels the technological phenomenon of which my work discusses: the mushrooming evolution and substitution of technologies with minimal societal reflection. Additionally, the innate mystery and appeal of glass, photography, and light in rarely seen historic processes, even in their rudimentary forms, can still challenge the newest and most dazzling human made technologies. My work discusses the unvoiced, disconnected triangles between nature, technology, and humans. My images attempt to mend the fractures by linking present understandings to the oral and visual traditions of the past in a manner strong enough to compete with the wizardry of technology for human attention.
