I am an experimental photographer, with large dollops of print making, collage, and book arts thrown in for good measure. Almost all of my work begins with a photographic image, though often made with very primitive forms of mark making on photosensitive substrates with light and chemicals, and might not be recognized by most as a photograph. The work tends to be abstract and non-representational, seeking to operate at a non-verbal, emotional level. Though my work generally begins in the analog, hands on with material objects, it is typically finished in the digital. I freely and unapologetically mix the two, pushing the limits of both. I am artist and mad scientist, always ready to ask, "what if?”, and set out to answer my own question.
