Reconfigured spaces and stitched landscapes grew out of that work. This exploration has stayed with me and continues to evolve. The two series share many characteristics, but differ in how they are constructed. While the images in stitched landscapes are representational, they are constructed with many layers in Photoshop. Straight lines bend, and texture, color, and light animate the scene. Reconfigured spaces takes this construction a step further by marrying different elements. In these images, the landscapes become more provocative, appearing both plausible and unsettling. In these recent works, I investigate place and how it morphs over time. In some cases, I am honoring discarded remains and giving space to the forgotten people behind the structures; in others, I entertain a new scenario. I experiment, morphing the familiar and inviting us to study our environment with fresh eyes. Whether it is an old New England barn, a forgotten cottage, or an abandoned wall in San Miguel de Allende, the images honor their history and their neglected purpose. __________________________________________________ BIO: Ann grew up in Washington, D.C., and has pursued work in filmmaking, education, and photography.
