I am interested in the space of the landscape, the palpability of light, and the awareness of being in relation to time--both the immediate present and the geologic past and future. The landscape for me is a place of presence--a perceptual field that anchors a sense of basic existence. I am concerned with the experience of seeing, not just what is seen, and how photography functions as a translator of this experience. As with our perceptions, photography has a complex relationship with reality.

I create images based on evolving general ideas and intuitions rather than predefined projects; the groups of images emerge in an organic fashion, and represent gradual shifts of my photographic ideas and concerns. I take great care with my final prints so that they convey a precise and subtle sense of light, space and scale, and have a presence as objects. The photographs immerse the viewer in their space, while also pointing to the act of perception. Many of the images are apparently clear windows onto the world, others are subtly or obviously manipulated.
