Outersides (False Doors) (2012) Digital Prints on Archival Photo Paper, 17”x22”
The simple act of opening a door is a first step to revealing an alternative landscape; doors can be portals between different worlds. In ancient Egyptian tombs, for example, "false doors" were façades used to bridge the worlds of the living and dead; they provided sites for funerary offering. In some cultures false doors were used in architecture to confuse intruders. Outersides is a photographic series of spatial experiments. Each of the works takes the form of a false door placed in a public space.
