ARTIST STATEMENT

My recent work has been focused on domestic narrative. I believe that the photograph can reveal things that the human eyes alone cannot sense, like the way we feel in situations but sometimes cannot recognize in the moment. I wanted to create simplistic scenes to tell a story, with only hints of something deeper. I began the series as a study of myself, but it has developed into more of an ambiguous character that is still very much a part of my experiences and me. There are stories all around me; I just have to be willing to tell them. As Emmett Gowin once said, “I was wandering around the world looking for an interesting place to be, when I realized where I already was, was interesting.” That is what has driven my art.
