Work
Silverthorne says she "uses the camera as a means to understand and explore spatial environments and encounters. As projects evolve, her photographs often move beyond the mat and the frame to become sculptural objects, projections, and installations."[2]
Her "current projects include the effect of disorientation in experiencing and moving through space, instinctual explorations of architectural structures, and nocturnal documentation of unfamiliar landscapes."[2]
