My work continues an ongoing investigation of the interaction of memory, the passage of time, a sense of place, and of identity. I am keenly interested in how memory forms our sense of being and how that can be affected by the contradictions that the past and the present pose. As a visual artist, I find the qualities of photography, darkroom and digital manipulation, and the malleability of fine art materials- paint, paper, pencil, to be uniquely sympathetic to this search. They allow me to intercede in the moment that a fixed image presents, juxtaposing within it a deeply subjective view of reality, formed in the shadow of remembrance.
