For nearly twenty years I have held a deep and abiding interest in ideas about time, change, and the personal relationships one makes with a place. I have explored these themes collaboratively and individually throughout my career as a practicing artist. I have worked extensively in the broad territory of the American West using 19th century photographs to inform and consider personal contemporary stories of people living in historic landscapes. I have peered through the window of iconic photographs that define photography as an interpretive art form and used them as a method to examine physical and cultural change in places such as Yosemite National Park. I have used the personal territory of my family and home to address the themes of changing seasons, the passage of time, and my relationship to place on a deeply intimate scale.
While each of these concentric territories remains open for further exploration and mapping, they have nurtured broad new lines of creative inquiry that require consideration. This site outlines many of these past projects, and is my principle venue for distributing current and ongoing creative endeavors.
