about the pieces
| Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky reflected, “Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.” As an artist, I gravitate toward subjects that dance on the edge of two worlds—one of ordinary physical reality and one of non-ordinary mystical presence. Whether framing a nature scene or setting up a narrative self-portrait, I’m attempting to capture a current of mystery I perceive in that moment. With alternative lenses and composite editing, I’m generally taking an image further from empirical presentation and more into an imaginative space, conjuring multiple layers and realities at play. My images invite the viewer into an intimate ‘time out of time’ world, ideally making space for their own experience of the sacred in their lives. |
