I seek to push the boundaries of photography, blurring the lines between fine art and traditional photography I attempt to free the photographic medium from the burden of its traditional representation. I have a fascination with process and texture; I feel these things breath life into my art. I use photography as a foundation for all of my artwork I build, manipulate, layer or merge photographs, primarily using alternative photographic process and a variety of non-silver printing techniques. I often incorporate found and natural materials into each series, giving each piece warmth and life. These processes allow me to use my hands and be more intimate with the creation of each piece.
