ARTIST STATEMENT
I compose and create images that communicate my relationship with the
world around me. The effect that language has upon others is just as
important as the affect of what one sees; in that both convey an
experience and an understanding of our environment. The work functions
in multiple ways. It questions the shift that language, seem primarily
though created images, undergoes when removed from its original
environment. On another level there is an exploration of the image as
a tool of visual language, and a signifier of a particular culture
while there is also a search for photography’s role in its relationship
to other traditional artistic mediums.
