"My work is inspired by images that move across my consciousness in travels and in dreams.  I’m influenced, as much by boring postcards and newspaper clippings, as by the canonical and often romanticized works of image-makers, and journalists of the past.

Across my body of work, I explore themes of loss, memory, imagination and dreams. Photography can freeze and eternalize what would be fleeting moments in time, but there is no mechanism for this in dreams. We rely on memory.  For me, the moments and scenes represented in my work exist in a mysterious space somewhere between the real and the imagined, because there is no way to photograph dreams."
