Artist Statement

I’ve always been keenly fascinated by the urban landscape. After all, that’s where most people live, so the built environment carries more relevance to our everyday existence. This image is from a project called the Walkabout Series. The Walkabout images are about finding beauty in the mundane, significance in the everyday, and grace in the commonplace. This series has been part documentary and part visual poetry, but it is also a matter of bearing witness to where I am, a way of saying that this is important.
