The  Nature  of  Photography

I approach photography in a similar way to drawing.  Exploring its immediacy and an intuitive process, I often use photographs to remove the presents of "place" and create a newly abstracted space for the viewer to move in.  Through composition, emphasizing texture, and editing I try to reference the mark-making that is inherent in drawing.

By selecting natural forms as subject, I allow myself to explore movement, space, and composition that is present in our environment.  These aesthetic elements often have a physiological reaction within the viewer.

I do not try to capture a moment. Nor am I looking for beauty in the mundane.  Through image making I am able to create new moments between myself and the image, and more importantly, the viewer and the image.  What happens there is immediate and the focus of this work.
