ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My art is the only thing that balances my mind, so that it can sit in my head properly.”

On Filmmaking:

   “I am a storyteller at heart, and making films is a way for me to express emotion into the world, and hopefully, allow the viewer to experience something unique, and create an opportunity to have a discussion around the work.”

On Photography:

   “With photography, I attempt to allow the viewer to make up the story for themselves. Nothing spoon fed. The story needs to develop out of the audience’s perception of the work. Otherwise what you have is plastic. Predetermined, conformed plastic. I am still baffled as to why ten photos that I take will make me wonder why I even do this, but then one, even in the same series, has something in it. Something that stops me. I still don’t know what that is. And maybe that is what keeps me coming back, even after sifting through mostly vast disappointment. Ultimately I want to share that experience with an audience. To evoke emotion. Perhaps that person can fall into the still image, and create a moving story for themselves, and experience something. Something.”
