It is familiar to understand the photographic image as a moment that has been captured in time, and represented as a document of that instant as it exists in the world. This series of photographs I have been taking over the past two years has much more to do with the folding of an environment up into the present. The images do not operate as isolated structures of a place and time, but through the use of rupture (in the form of two image collage and single image manipulation) create a space for continuous reinvestigation of the landscape and our shared experience within it. --Michael Vallera, 2009
