The images I will show here allude to a place, are a place, but become snippets of past existence; dispersed, but persistent. Perhaps memory best describes what I do and what defines me.

"I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. ... in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine."from the film Everything Is Illuminated, 2005 directed by Liev Schreiber
My work leans towards the autobiographical. My camera provides the raw material which I process with drawing, paint, and collage. I love collage because it allows randomness. I begin with an image or object and react to it with paint, pencil, or glue. I pause, rework, cut, glue again, more paint, re-photograph, re-collage, scan and rework. I peel and sandwich. The image lies on top of its arrangement, not behind in its conception
