Artist Statement
My artwork is a documentation of the light, color, and forms that inspire me. By getting up close to objects, focusing my lens on small details, and refracting light through transparent and colorful materials, I am able to distort reality and invent new places. In many ways, my photographs are untraveled landscapes. I am very attracted to linear forms, saturated color, and minimal compositions. Through my photography I attempt to capture and reveal unseen spaces. As suggested by the great photographer László Moholy-Nagy, photographers are lichtners— painters of light. Rather than using my camera as a way to document representational forms, I prefer to use the medium as a painting tool.
