Artist Statement
Light can be voluminously fierce, subtly ethereal, and deftly determined. Its ability to envelop us humans is primal, transcending language and culture. From my earliest memories catching light has been my main preoccupation. Held in this state of suspension we have to carry on. Forced through the lens of the mundane we can find the profound.
