Cathedrals and Time

A longitudinal study of the monumental nature of our infrastructure as it interacts with the natural world.  Also Known As my Cathedral of M-14.  It is located in Bandemer Park in Ann Arbor, and was under construction this summer, which made for even more interesting documentary work.

Through a Glass Darkly


Self portraits, myself seen through a glass darkly.  We are all capable of self-awareness, yet our human perceptions are limited and there is only so much we can know of ourselves, as Paul mentions in his letter to the Corinthians: For now we see but through a glass darkly, and then it shall be face to face.  Paul, of course was referring to our spiritual awakening through Christianity, and as an artist, this sentiment resonates deeply.  Self-examination is a part of artistic practice, and yet, there is always more to learn.  The asymptote of learning as it approaches human development.

As a part of making artworks, Allida began documenting her own work. Through that process she picked up digital photography and Video-manipulation skills. She likes to explore patterns, texture, and the passage of time in her photos.
