ArtistÂ’ Statement
My work is an act of trust, skill and faith.
I present the world as I find it. These visual found objects of daily life are my frame of reference. Find the image, crop in camera, capture once. I move my perspective to fit the objects. Make the ephemeral moment eternal, it will never look like this ever again.
I want you to see how I have seen, experience my frame of reference. If I can make you feel a powerful emotion, my work has been done.
