My work begins with noticing. I am drawn to moments when light, color, texture or atmosphere causes something ordinary to suddenly stand apart from its surroundings. I rarely go out looking for a particular image. Instead, I wander and respond to what is already thereāto the moment that makes me stop and look again.
Photography becomes both a way of recording these encounters and material for further exploration. I manipulate, isolate and reassemble images, moving between intuitive response and a more analytical process of piecing things together. I am interested in this tension between what is found and what is constructed, and in the way an image can shift as I work with it.
