"I let my eye follow the light. It takes me places I once overlooked or nodded off as something less then beautiful. My images are as much about the luminance of light as they are the subtle subject matter. It is about memory, loss, and distance. Looking at and from oneself. A world created and told intimately through a departure from physicality, taking the focus off the self and migrating to form. Seeing place in terms of light, shapes, structure. Like small drawings full of minute detail. Images have the power to distort perception, our perspective changes the nature of place because we were not there in that moment. We can only interpret what is before us. Constructing my life around details, I tease the viewer into investigation, giving access and then gently pushing them away. The images themselves become secrets. You may believe you are looking at wet strands of hair, or a crescent shoulder, but are you? This illusion, this trick, allows the audience the chance to linger and become entangled. My swatches of place are a language within itself, transcending, liberating, a portrait of my presence and permanence amongst the world. Within these fragments, these selective sections of comfort, I created a new being and "this new being is a happy man.” (The Poetics of Space) It is my language. A newness characterizing the expansive definition of place."
