Artist Statement
Since 2006 I have created two bodies of work, The Illuminati and Technically Intimate. Both bodies center around technology and how it is shaping those like myself, whom have grown up in a world where we have never known what it is to be without technology, the Internet, and the ability to make instant connections with others around the world.
Process Statement
I work with a large format camera (4x5) and my prints are large, ranging anywhere from 30x40", 40x50", and 42x80". My imagery is highly constructed and filled with small details, which makes it all the more important to see the work at a printed size.
