As I seek to make unexpected connections and visual conclusions through seemingly unrelated materials, I find reward in experimentation between the analogue and digital worlds. This may take form through appropriation and found imagery and play with non-traditional techniques. As photographs and media are employed, deconstructed, manipulated and constructed once more, I am questioning not only how we perceive the medium, but also playing with the need for information, context and origin to make sense of what a “photograph” is and can be. Oftentimes, otherworldly landscapes present a dialogue between representation and textural abstraction as well as tension between connectedness and unfamiliarity. 

This compliments my aim to understand and see the photographic medium beyond its usual callings and uses. It is important for me to seek unique ways of bending the photographic language and question conventional ways of creating light and lens-based imagery. As I reexamine the conventional roles and processes of the medium, the possibilities are limitless and ever changing. Though my approach to process varies, the common thread in my personal investigation lives in a space of loss, attachment, familial mystery, the layering of history and mining and reconstructing discarded pasts in order to create new narratives.
