Statement Of Work, 2024~

I practice photography as an additive art form. Never taking, I leave subjects undiminished. Whether I am meticulously sculpting with light in the studio, arranging tones from negative to print in the darkroom, or stitching together a composite at the computer, I am making pictures. Through the lens of animism, I bring focus on the numinous aspect of the subject. With light and shadow as my brush and palette, I deify the subject and empathize with its nature.
