Artist Statement/Musings

Images are the byproduct of my most immediate and awakening artistic process:  photo-taking.  The camera's ability to teach by isolatng visual elements in space is an endless source of intrigue for me.   I find photographs not to be a record of my experience but a translation of information that is distinct and highly edited when compared with my own perceptions. 

I use my photographs as a basis for exploring the organizational methods, systems and practices we use to comprehend our environment and to make connections between the slice of the world that is human-scale and that which is not.  I am interested in the complexity of spaces - both mental and physical - where disciplines, ideas, perceptions, instincts and attractions intersect; and then, how this complexity is ultimately communicated, or not, with others.
