ARTIST STATEMENT
I have worked in Film/video, sculpture, and installation in the past but my current medium of choice is photography. My pictures are often evocative of a sense of place and they present a feeling of unsettling familiarity or uncomfortable nostalgia and strong opposition of forces (light v dark, human v nature). I try not to impose a literal intent in my images but a situation where meaning could occur, an empty stage where the subject may be the emptiness of the stage itself.
