Abstract
In My Life as Sistina Smiles, I explore virtual experiences and their relationship to my physical life. I am infatuated with the patterns and structures that form our existence and how those patterns exist as layers stacked like paper creating a flat image of reality for us to view. The concept of layering is used to unify both my digital and physical works. In my virtual works, each layer of an image has been presented for view. Some of the works include more distance between the imagery so that it is possible to view a single layer along with the entire constructed image. In my physical works, the images are sandwiched together, allowing the viewer only glimpses of each layers construction. The sandwiching of the images in clear acrylic sheets, allows light to pass through the layers and create duplicate projected image on the white acrylic backing.
