Artist Statement:
My photographs incorporate
found manmade objects into
organic settings. I am drawn
to people’s discarded
possessions. I am interested
in the human condition and the
transformation of regard to
disregard. An individual’s
discarded possession becomes
an object of desire for my
work. Its’ worn quality
reminds me of my own human
mortality.
I find discarded objects in
free piles, yard sales and
thrift stores and I photograph
myself interacting with them.
I use the experiences that I
have while obtaining the
objects to provide direction
as to how I photograph with
them. I seek out appropriate
outdoor settings to photograph
myself engaging with these
objects. My intent is to
record the dynamics of organic
nature and human experience. I
work intuitively and explore
with my senses. I record a
response both physically and
psychologically. This action
links my human presence with
the “natural world” and
provides an honest sense of
place as to how I am connected
to it....
