The Pacific Northwest rural landscape is the one I grew up in and generally regarded with equal measures of melancholy for both its attractive and unattractive qualities. Manifold is an experimental, synchronized 4-channel media work experienced on four large OLED 4k flat screen monitors. Constructed almost exclusively from composited and collaged photos taken from a moving train (more than two thousand originals were shot during several trips between Seattle, Washington and the Willamette Valley in Oregon), Manifold documents a dreamlike and liminal territory of Northwest landscape where stark industrial, rural and urban tableaux are revealed in alternating succession.
