Artist Statement:)



My images are fundementally about form and revealing the visaul eloquence that I see in all things. My photos are often expressed in the details and abstractions of the objects that surround me. The form of my photos manifest in the resoance of a curve. The rythm of a pattern and the dichotomy of light an shawdow. Their surrounded everywhere in nature such as, the twist of a leaf, the overlapping of features on a bird, the abstract and vivd forms of color and shapes of graffiti.

I like turn the objects into a human creation such as the differnt point of views of the senery, the way the light hits an object at a certain angle and the way I percieve it's beauty. I feel as if m photos help me ubdrstabd the world in a more orgainzes and vivid way. My photos all unite from where it's started. From every basic reaction to and exploration of form.

I enjoy taking photos of nature, graffiti, bridges, trains, strets of the city, expressions of peoples movement, facial expressions, anything that catches my eye. Photos with a certain lighting, texature, and a visual eloquence is worth taking a photo of. Photography is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass.

My favorite photographer is Narelle Autio. Narelle is an amazing photographer from Lisbon, Portugal. Narelle photographs a lot of street art. Narelle Autio photographs consist of nature, people and what not. Narelle Autio inspired me to take photos. Narelle Autio uses a lot of color compositions, perspective lighting and Contrasting Movement.
