Work

I am a photographic artist. I build each artwork by layering many of my own photographs into a single image, the way I once assembled a scene across two decades as a film editor.

The work is not a record of how a place looked. It is what stays once I have left.

Each series takes a different form on its surface, Impressionist, Cubist, Art Deco, abstract, while the method underneath stays the same.
