I am excited to speak at the Yuma Arts Symposium and I look
forward to discussing my work in terms of intentionality and the creative
process.
I am interested in representing the ephemeral, transitory,
and delicate balance between presence and absence. While these are all arguably
serious things, my work has a playfulness to it that hopefully creates a space for
viewers that is simultaneously poignant and funny.
My photographs are all unmanipulated pictures of events
that I make happen in the world. They exist at least long enough to be
photographed. The creation of these photographic moments often requires a
friend to do an odd activity, a commonplace object to be repurposed, or a
remote location where less explanations to passersby are required. Along the
way I have come to appreciate this part of my practice—the misadventure, fumbling,
and even failure that eventually leads to realizing the image I wish to make.
