I am a multi-disciplinary artist utilizing photography and interactive methods.
My goal in all my photography is to provide opportunities for people to see the world differently and explore the boundaries of visibility.
My curiosity is always about that which can’t be seen—breath, the electrical pulses that run through our bodies, disease, even feelings of love and loss—and how to manifest these interior phenomena into imagery that not only resonates with the viewer but lingers long after with its beauty, complexity and mystery.
I consider the relationship between the unseen rhythms of the human body and our connection to the natural world in flux. At a time when we are so divided in this country, in this age of polarity and punishment, with partisan politics and strangled language, my interest is in what connects us but is not always apparent – the raw humanity within us. My hope is to inspire people to see that connectivity.
I want my work to push beyond heat and ignite the unexpected—to consider that beyond the boundaries of visibility are elemental truths that bind human beings to one another and to the land.
