Artist Statement

These photos reflect an ongoing investigation into isolation and connection within contemporary American culture. Upon quiet backdrops both literal and social architectures suffocate space, complicate the relation and separation of person and place, and punctuate loneliness with moments of affinity.

In this age of standardization and acclimation I look to make record of the human or individual mark, and see photography as a means from which to indexically highlight and collect.

I hope to gain insight into issues of daily isolation, detachment and reconnection, by focusing upon imaging rituals of everyday life, their remnants and their discards; from the indelibly prominent mark to the nearly invisible trace of human interaction in and with the world.
