Statement
My work is comprised of small diorama-like constructions, and photographs of these constructions in progress, and drawings incorporated into the constructions. I use scale and distance to manipulate the point-of-view. My photographs and constructions are about my relationship to people and the places where I live and to daily experience and memories. These miniature narratives are placed within the context of man-made structures of colossal proportion and scientific explanations of natural phenomena. Like memory, my constructions and photographs reduce these colossal and long-enduring structures to fragile and transitory symbols.

Process
35mm black and white negative film, fiber base photographic paper, meticulous archival printing process, toned with tea. no digital imaging at any step. I also make sculptures based on the photographs.
