Statement
“I have two pairs of eyes – one to paint and one to take photographs.”
-Jacques-Henri Lartigue
How do we connect to and make sense of what it means to be in the world? How do we broach this conundrum? My work as a painter and a photographer seeks to address this dilemma by exploring relationships – one’s relationship to the environment, to one another, to oneself, as well to our deepest fears and desires. My work is equally preoccupied with exploring the overlapping connections to and relationships amongst the formal elements that comprise painting and photography within the broader context of visual communication.
