Shadows of the Present is a forced perspective installation that requires the visual alignment of separated columns to reveal hidden imagery. The piece encourages viewers to move around the piece to locate predetermined viewpoints. The handpainted imagery embodies the instability of perspective and the quiet complexity of transition. Change itself may be the only constant. Where we're going often reveals itself only once we've already moved.
