My work explores notions of alienation, the psychology of an individual, and a sense of lacking control. My interest in photographic based imagery does not derive from a concern for taking pictures of tangible objects or specific locations. Rather I am interested in looking through the camera lens intent on discovering something that is missing, lacking- not expecting to find answers, but to explore questions. Recently, history, in the sense of something that has passed and can no longer be affected, and memory, have become territories for these explorations.
My process involves creating and collecting images, sometimes uncertain as to how I may use them, often combining various types of imagery, utilizing hi-tech and low-tech processes together, then later making discoveries and conceiving ideas while in the darkroom (whether actual or on the computer). Empty spaces, missing parts, incompleteness- these modes of constructing an image allude to my concern for what may be missing, rather than what is there. By creating images in this way, I attempt to engage and challenge the viewer, as I confront my own fears and uncertainties.
