Artist Statement

Quotidian, liminal, transcendent; these are states I see in the world as my perception and the light vacillates. Light has the power to give the quotidian transcendent properties. I seek the surreal, capturing that quality is my goal.

In my photography, I use light to cast the ordinary in extraordinary terms. When light is unusually focused, or especially diffused, or particularly brilliant I pounce. It is a process of triangulation – object(s), geometry, light – when these three factors converge. I seize the fleeting opportunity.
