Photography

My artwork is a documentation of the  light, color, and forms that inspire me. By getting up close to objects,  focusing my lens on small details, and refracting light through transparent and colorful materials, I am able to distort reality and  invent new places.  In many ways, my photographs are untraveled  landscapes.

I am very attracted to linear forms,  saturated color, and minimal compositions.  Through my photography I  attempt to capture and reveal unseen spaces. As suggested by the great  photographer László Moholy-Nagy, photographers are lichtners–  painters of light.  Rather than using my camera as a way to document  representational forms, I prefer to use the medium as a painting tool.
