Artist Statement:
I am not a photographer or a
narcissist. I am an artist
with a camera. Rather than
approaching self-portraiture
from an autobiographical
perspective, I push the
boundaries of what I define as
“self” and “other” by playing
with ideas of identity,
gender, archetype, emotion and
the visual interpretations and
possibilities that exist
within them. I do not consider
myself a photographer, but
rather an artist and
storyteller using the camera
as a tool to create.
I can more deeply explore my
conceptual ideas by embracing
the roles of both photographer
and subject. I am continually
drawn to concepts involving
the subconscious, alienation,
time, memory, transcendence
and surrealism. Other sides of
my work explore my love of
paradox and the juxtaposition
of light and dark, beauty and
beast.
Most of my photographs use
experimental in-camera
methods, mirror distortions,
modified lenses and handmade
attachments such as the
stroboscope. I enjoy creating
unique ways to express the
intangible realms of emotions,
thoughts, poetry, dreams and
nightmares....
