about
I am an image maker and storyteller exploring the relationship between landscape and memory-keeping. My practice investigates interpretations of the natural through markers, meanings, and mythologies motivated by a sense of wonder. I use photography to examine prosaic and abandoned places, thus inviting others to reflect, remember, and imagine. My work is quiet. It blends the organic and human-made, questions the unknown and unknowable, and relies on rituals and relics to call for consideration of how we interact with and understand our surroundings.
