Abstract
The artist's statement: There are a plethora of things these days that we all simply take for granted. Pull out your cell phone, check your email, and go about your business. But what did we really just do and do we understand the significance? My fascination with technology has been a long running part of my life and with most of that run I was simply ignorant to what lies beneath the surface. Man Hours is my exploration of what actually does lie beneath the surface of objects that you may find work. Some objects photographed are very familiar to a wide audience, while others really only apply to one or two audiences, but all of them apply to myself and my experiences. Many objects that we use on a daily basis are typically taken at the surface level and with my exploration of the insides of some of these objects I have found a wealth of knowledge about how things work. Ever wonder exactly how big an iPhone's camera is on the inside? Who knew a remote control was so simple on the inside compared to the function of it on the outside? These are all questions that I learned the answer to after taking these objects apart and appreciating the Man Hours put into each one for its creation.
