I began studying photography as an undergraduate, and dabbled with it for a few years before finally deciding in 2004 to pursue an MFA at the Visual Studies Workshop. Lately I have been interested in what images can be found when limiting the search area to the spaces that I inhabit on a daily basis. I am interested in finding images where human interaction has left evidence of events that occurred in these spaces. I try to give only fractured clues to the viewer so they must bring their own experiences to the image in order create a narrative.
