Always hoping to be somewhere, I create work that is rooted in landscape. The spaces I present are places where a lot of hoping occurs. In a landscape that forces one to feel simultaneously big and small, the participant owns nothing, takes nothing, keeps nothing. My landscapes are definitions of what it means to be human, without the keeping of material or superficial objects or considerations.
I constantly question the notion of what is home. My images are always set in the present, and act as attempts to answer questions of fulfillment, contentedness, purpose. The idea of keeping and hoping are tangled, and so becomes the bedrock of the content of my work.
