Artist Statement of Work

Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):

While I work primarily in traditional darkroom photography, I borrow from literature, sacred texts, sculpture, bookmaking, printmaking, textile arts, and sound to make work that strives to be emotionally rich and conceptually complete. I am inspired by words, material, ephemera or everyday objects, and craft traditions.
