My photographs are artifacts of the laborious task of making  my interior life tangible. A duality permeates my work, creating a tension between what has physically existed and what is imagined. Like photography I am bound to a physical reality, but I am compelled to make work that speaks of how precious and valuable the interior reality can be. This intangible space is where memory, fantasy and spirituality reign. This is where we are haunted.
I have always felt compelled to make something physical and tactile, based on the spaces which dwell in my mind. These imagined retreats, however, always had some anchoring in the real world. Like a dream they began with someplace that produced resonances in me. Constructed photographs and the alchemy of the darkroom quickly became my ideal mode of expression. I have taken the production of my images one step further, into a digital workflow. This tool has provided the perfect marriage of painting and photography. I use imaging software to bring out inherent textures and gradations, producing an enhanced sense of depth and space.
