Artist Statement

My photographic explorations mirror the fragmented and conflicted nature of my personal experiences and use visual metaphors to depict textures and multi-dimensional experiences, reflecting internal chaos and emotional turbulence. To illustrate this perspective, the photographs are created “in camera” as single images without multiple exposures or added content during post-processing.

I am inspired to explore the emotional complexity that influences visual imagery, which our brains simplify as we perceive, absorb and comprehend information. Normally our eyes see all of the visual information but our brains typically focus us on only one or two major objects, thus limiting what we actually “see.” In making these photographs, captured in the real world, camera optics lets us experience the rich visual complexity and multiple layers that our brains simplify, as visual data is processed.
