About the Artist
Harrison Heinks
I have autism, and I see the world very differently than most. I notice the smallest details that most people ignore and people tend to ignore me because I have a disability. One way I see myself existing in this world is by capturing my reflection in everyday scenarios. I insert myself subtly yet deliberately in my images through shadow and reflection. Because my autism can be a barrier for me to relate to the “normal” world, when I capture my reflection in a window, the glass acts as a barrier to whatever is behind the window. In my artwork, the things behind the reflection are my representation of the ordinary world; I live in the glass, being caught in another plane that runs parallel to the world in which everyone else lives. By capturing my image in this “in-between” state, so the outside world cannot ignore me. By looking at my work, I am present in their world. Being present is what motivates me to create.
