Palimpsest began with an accident.
A burst pipe flooded boxes of family photographs, letters and personal ephemera stored in my home. As I carefully peeled the photographs apart to dry them, their emulsions had transferred onto one another, creating unexpected layers, textures and chance compositions. Rather than seeing loss, I saw a new visual language. The damaged photographs became the foundation of Palimpsest.
That moment changed the direction of my practice.
Scanning the images into the computer, I began layering, animating and eventually allowing sound to influence how they behaved. What started as an accidental collision of memory and material evolved into iCoda — a browser-based creative system where images are continually remixed, transformed and captured through chance.
