In my art practice I’m seeking to convey moments of communion; those divine glimpses allowed in brief encounters and abstract communications with creatures past and present. I’m interested in the moments when the universe opens, giving us clues to transcend the mundane aspects of everyday living.

The aesthetic intention of my work is closely tied to process. I work primarily in early photographic printing techniques, which, by their nature, yield sometimes unpredictable, often serendipitous results. I love the play of elements, sunlight, time, and unexpected interventions during printing.

In my artist’s books, I combine layers of images with original and historic texts, to create narratives that combine the past and present. My imagery explores the place of humans within their natural environments, with the belief that elements, flora and fauna are all equal players in the narrative. My goal is to create an experience for the viewer that has no known provenance--an infinite, subtly transformative moment.
