Artist’s Statement
“It is in the nature of light to ‘lead beyond the limits,” theater director, Claude Regy, said. This very same quality of light can be harnessed by the limitless nature of photographic art. I seek to create more than vivid visual tensions and aesthetic expression in each photographic frame. My work is engaged with the complex concept of the photographic medium’s ability to “lead” it’s viewers beyond pure depiction and representation, beyond even the constructed physical world, to an incorporeal place of experiential emotion, perceptual shift, and the undiscovered personal “beyond” each viewer caries within themselves.
