I love motion and the late 19th century human locomotion photographic experiments of Étienne-Jules Marey, Eadweard Muybridge, and others. They inspired me to start experimenting with the moving film stroboscopy technique of shooting motion on film. My new series of reimagined Time/Motion Study Multiples combines the old (analog) with the new (digital) spanning three centuries of photographic exploration. The first time I shot the photos with black and white film and printed panoramic images. Now I am collaging and layering those earlier analog images in the digital world, creating new works of art. Through my photographs I examine the idea of motion and reality and seeing the unseen: what exists and yet cannot be perceived by the naked eye.
