Artist Statement
My subject matter has varied, but my core interests have always revolved around using photo-based media to explore subjective experience. The thematic concerns I've engaged through my work—and revisited throughout my career, emphasizing and exploring them differently at different stages—include isolation, eros, mortality, and memory. To explore these themes, I've used subject matter ranging from cityscapes to the human body, and now, the family portraits of my more recent work.
Process Statement
Over the course of my career, I've used whatever methods have suited my aesthetic purposes, including traditional and alternative darkroom techniques, Polaroid technology, video, and digital imaging. I'm now experimenting with intaglio processes.
