I appreciate moments in time that are still and quiet. I look for them everywhere I go.
Those empty spaces, regardless of size, often have forgotten things. Abandoned buildings, items covered in dust and cobwebs, plus other signs of human neglect. My formative years took place in a town that was constantly changing, but the echoes of the way things were are still there. Historical photographs are a valuable resource for knowing how things truly looked at the time. I think of my work as an ongoing historical record of the things I've seen, and I am grateful that I can create a record of those things before they truly disappear.
There are two common themes within my film and digital work: structure and decontextualization. I use light and shadow to my advantage, take an unusually close look at things to see what they really look like, and often choose unusual perspectives.
