Artist Statement
I've always considered myself to be a painter - even though I my first serious studies were in photography before working on my degree in painting. Recently I've come to realize that I am very much a multi-disciplinary artist. Not so much because I like to work with multiple disciplines or mixed-media within one piece, but because I like to work with whatever materials are available to me at any given time. So my portfolio as a whole is multi-disciplinary.
I seriously returned to using photography as my main from of creating art in 2007.
Behind my work is my fascination of time and space. I am interested in tearing through the concept of linear time and discovering new ways to use the universe as an art form. Chaos theory and communication are also common elements in my work. I am currently working on a series of photographs that investigate the idea that all events in the past, present, and future exist in the same moment.
