Artist Statement
My work is focused on the often overlooked and ordinary events of everyday life that attract my attention -fleeting time and and changes in light and mood from one second to the next. Exhibited both individually and as compositions of multiple images combined, my photographs mimic the sensory and visual cues that inform recollection; both that which is highly personal but also true to experience. The physicality of that experience is often condensed, or rather transmuted, into a sprinkling of space, color, visual, and even auditory phenomena.
