Artistic Statement

After stepping away from a twenty-year career in visual communication, I returned to making images. With a background in drawing and painting, I chose the camera as my tool for working with reality through gesture and time.

My current practice grows out of artistic traditions that altered how painting and photography are perceived, shifting focus from description toward experience. From the freedom of the Dadaists and the Irascible 18 to photographers such as Ernst Haas, Saul Leiter, and Wolfgang Tillmans, these approaches opened a space where the image could operate beyond illustration or persuasion.

In a time shaped by generative imagery and artificial intelligence, I work against speed by choice. As simulation becomes increasingly precise and images grow interchangeable, I turn toward the physical conditions of the photographic act. Each image begins in contact with the world and carries the trace of that encounter.

Materiality and scale are essential in my practice. Large-format prints allow details to surface; at close range, attention slows. The image becomes a space of experience rather than a surface to consume.

The photographic event itself is singular and irreversible. Finished works are therefore mostly presented in editions of 1/1, with a size specifically determined for each image. The mounted and framed print is a material object and the final form of the process, where the trace of reality becomes physically fixed and perceptible.
