My artwork has always reflected my fascination with marks, traces and remnants.  Specifically, I am drawn to how these reference both time and personal narratives.  Marks are often seen as undesirable, particularly in a disposable culture that fetishizes the clean and the new.  Photography, and in particular the lens, has the ability to uncover and monumentalize what is hidden in these vestiges.

The Japanese have a concept called Wabi-Sabi.  It is the beauty of the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete; the acceptance of transience. I am interested in the allure of the ordinary and the mundane, and in finding the sublime in the ugly and the taboo.
