This work is part an ongoing project about the structures we make to hold the public at bay. It began by looking at people in and around booths and expanded to larger spaces enclose by fences. In either case, these are dividers between the insiders and the rest of us. Like cages in a zoo, it is not always clear whether are keeping the “animals” in or the “people” out. Often, they are no more than vending machines that are “mechanized” by the people inside. They offer protection and separation. They are confining. They raise questions about what these spaces say and how they say it. I find that frequently my photography looks at how our environment is the message. All of us who inhabit that environment - whatever we might believe - are personally incidental. Someone else can replace us and the story remains the same.
