Artist Statement

My works are compositions of elusive landscapes, charged with local histories, that manifest contemporary human existence. Using photography, video, and sound with digital adaptation techniques, I build installations that merge places and times into fantastic yet familiar environments. Contrary to the "high-tech," highly processed editing methods I use, the way I collect these materials is simple: Alone, with a small camera.
