about my process
I'm totally captivated by light. My process of making is an exercise in editing the world around me, selecting vignettes of emotional resonance from experiences lived, and from memories stored. By paying attention to light, sound and abstracted forms in the landscape, I aim to translate something beautiful or banal into an opportunity for meditative experience. I work in a variety of media including photography, moving image, installation, collage and performance. With my recent photographic work, light is my subject, resulting an ethereal quality in the image, that drifts between the real and the imagined.
