"Visions", a large-scale panoramic image created using desert imagery of cactuses, hoodoos, and rock formations that I photographed in southern Utah and the Valley of Fire. Much of my past work has explored the conceptual boundary between photography and illustration, using digital imaging tools to create new worlds with my photographs. I’m very fascinated by the term ‘magic realism’, used in art and literature to ‘depict a realistic view of the world while also adding or revealing magical elements.’ I wanted to incorporate this concept into my images, to portray otherworldly scenes inspired by science fiction and mythology, and create surreal work that challenge perceptions of reality versus illusion.
