Artist Statement

I am a photographer who uses my medium to slow down, take a step back from busy life, and sit with moments and subjects that might otherwise be overlooked. Spring’s Passing features 35mm film photographs of flowers from my garden, as well as photograms of found foliage and a butterfly from the same location. The process of developing and printing photographs and photograms is slow and meditative, reflecting my conceptual foundation. Some of my photographs become a series of prints. Others are pushed into collage or delicate installations made of projections and hanging fabrics that reference the domestic. My practice explores how familiar imagery, material, light, and texture can hold or evoke feelings of nostalgia, memory, home, and comfort. Through methods of abstraction, such as fragmentation, my work asks the viewer to slow down and look longer at the images to find their meaning.
