My objective is to create images that explore the world around me and to process them into a visual language. I am not interested in making images of the obvious or the content heavy. Rather than present the entire subject, I find it much more revealing to begin with elements of the subject. I use fragments, gestures and remains, which become my visual vocabulary. These smaller pieces of information engage the viewer in a search to decipher meaning. My work is less about final meaning and more about the process of discovery.

Photography has commonly been considered the art of representing a single moment in time. However, the camera can be used as a more discursive tool. For example, to eliminate the static quality of the traditional image, I employ several techniques--compiling images into diptychs to expand the representation of time, chemical degeneration of negatives to add an additional layer of personal vision, and rejection of the typical rectangular format for a unique circular lens to vignette and give the image an otherworldly quality.

I have exhibited my work with the C. Grimaldis gallery in Baltimore and was featured in a biennial at the Corcoran in D.C. I have received four Maryland State Arts Council grants. I am in the collection of Reykjavik Museum of Photography in Iceland and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
