Artist Statement

My works are compositions of illusive landscapes charged with local histories while manifesting contemporary human existence. Using photography video and sound with digital adaptation techniques, I build installations that merge places and times into fantastic yet familiar environments. Contradictory to the "high-tech," highly processed editing methods I use, the way I collect these materials is simple: Alone, with a small camera.
