Artist Statement

Looking around, noticing things: shapes, light, atmosphere. Unexpected relationships between objects and spaces. What might they become within the frame?

Working with the body and landscape, I look for moments when the familiar becomes strange, when a form begins to dissolve without quite disappearing. Rather than constructing a scene, I try to reveal what is already there, but not yet apparent.

I work exclusively with black-and-white film. It gives me the visual qualities I seek, while retaining an element of unpredictability.

For me, an image unfolds over time, in conversation with other images and through its encounter with a viewer.
