statement

My creative research is an investigation of place and experience. Specifically, my interest lies in the cultural perceptions of the American landscape - its deserts, plains, and expanding urban areas. I see landscape as a reflection of society, draw heavily from my own personal experiences, and, through a series of interrelated projects, use photography as a means to engage with and understand the modern world. Ultimately, the driving force behind everything I do is an underlying faith in the photographic process as one of discovery.
