Artist Statement

Photography is my way of understanding the world around me, which I describe with little ceremony or celebration.  This is how I see: head-on, straightforward. I am drawn to fragments and glimpses in the everyday, intimate scenes with humans at the center.  Stillness, smallness and subtlety are my vocabulary.  As I look at my surroundings I see the incidental and accidental marks made by time and people as they pass through a space.  With my camera I collect the evidence we unknowingly leave behind.
