Ever since I held a camera, I was
enchanted with its ability to capture depth and breadth at the same time.
While recording copious amounts of information about individual elements in the
image, it also conveyed the illusion of deep space. Much of my photographic
work plays with the question of the presence or absence of information.
Fascinated with the silhouette, I like to see outlines as “place holders” from
which we try to gather information by the forms themselves.
My work has almost always had a narrative thread,
commenting on the human drama, relationships we have, and roles we play. The
pictures have traditionally dealt with domestic issues, though some of the
later work inevitably crosses over into themes of war, hostility, and man’s
inhumanity to man.
Although trained in photography and always viewing the
world through that prism, I have found myself drawn to, and working in, other
forms as well, including painting, sculpture, monoprints, and more.
Though topics of interest continued to include domestic relations and
explorations of human emotions and responses, respective projects seemed to
dictate various solutions which were not always photographic. The media
suggested by each project proved to be both challenging and enlarging to me as
an artist struggling to create meaning in the form of objects.
