Drawn to the ineffable and the curious nature of the real, this work explores the visual complexities of contemporary experience through still life, portraiture, and landscape photography. I am moved by the power of the photographic image and its ability to embody the richness of the human experience. My hope is that the images reveal a love of the medium, the recognition of light, circumstance, and my need to roam toward the unknown.
 
Dreamer’s House has provided the opportunity to consider a more nuanced space; one grounded in the nature of home as refuge. The images incline inward; towards sanctuary, one’s second skin or a place so close it is not seen or felt. They describe a sentience, the passage of time, and a universal sense of what each of us craves.
 
I continue to use film and a large format, 8x10 view camera. This allow me to move slowly and interpret my surroundings at a pace that has more to do with a meditation and very little to do with current culture’s spinning clock.
