ARTIST STATEMENT

for me it’s vulnerability and reciprocity…it’s all practice…

As an imagemaker I study how things look and sound. I work daily with my camera and words to compose beautiful “thought things” as one way to form ideas to inspire reflection and rumination, perhaps start a conversation.

My photographs are almost all allegories about my understandings of human desire for settlement…of spaces and places in which people and things fit together. I try to negotiate my subjectivities of looking and composing my “thought things” with Scruton’s ideas of why beauty matters…to see the remedy of beauty as an instrument of peace.

• Please acknowledge my images and words…it’s the right thing to do…“No reproduction is permitted without the photographer’s written authorization.” https://capic.org/copyright-laws/
