“The central theme in my work is human connection — seeking the energy where the spirit resides. Perhaps light, as both metaphor and medium, reflects back into the eyes of the viewer through the images I make. I have always played with breaking traditional edges and materials. My images are often
layers or combinations of time, relationships, texture, and color. Sometimes time represents one moment to the next — moving like wind or an endless rising sea. Energy and light move, dancing with time, over seconds or decades or a lifetime.”
