Artist Statement

Much of my photography is about ambiguity and the passage of time -- the intersections between what was, what is, and what might be.

I delight in reflections that draw me into an ephemeral upside-down world; odd or tender juxtapositions that I happen upon in nature or create at home; plant material that I collect and float to create moving 'water tapestries'; and visual conversations between inside and outside, organic and manmade, one time and another.

Recently I’ve begun to play with creating intersections between old and new work, using my printed photographs to create something new. Instead of just looking at flat images, I am physically handling and manipulating my photographs.Experimenting with 3D forms adds new facets to the idea of the photograph. This work is tactile and intuitive, and I’m traveling backward and forward in time, as I create new relationships between places and experiences in my life.
