I create instinctually. Time, place, light, and
chance: these are the elements from which my photographs are formed. My
images are never preconceived or contrived. Instead, my work is firmly
rooted in that gap which exists between seeing and comprehending: that
place which reveals, but also questions, the truth.
I
examine reality. Our world is ambiguous and filled with
contradiction and uncertainty. Hope and cynicism. Solemnity and
absurdity. Beauty and ruin. My photos explore these incongruous
experiences and emotions, and documents their opposition. Essentially,
photography allows me to question the indefinite relationship between
reality and perception. My work is a constant journey towards
authenticity.
I foster discovery. A compelling image is
one which reveals something unexpected, even if the material is truly
mundane. Photography is a medium which provides the viewer not only the
opportunity to observe and detect, but also to emote and respond. My
photos are evocative, suggestive, and reminiscent: their subjects are
self-explanatory, yet call into question one's usual perception of time
and space. My work continually examines how the ordinary is really
quite extraordinary.
