ARTIST STATEMENT

I'm a documentary photographer using digital processes
with an extensive background in traditional methods
and techniques. My work is essentially the practice of
watching and listening to the present moment with
disciplined attention.

Most of my photos are a journalistic record of the places
and situations where I find something deeply personal
and emotionally significant. I'm fascinated by simple,
everyday human gestures and actions which connect
people to each other in a shared physical language.

I also make images about dreams and dream states.
Using montage techniques, I overlap and layer multiple
images into compositions based of these imagined places.
