work statement
Primary artists whose ways of seeing (and thinking) I have hoped to learn from are Robert Adams, Lee Friedlander, Walker Evans, Harry Callahan, John Szarkowski, Richard Misrach, Joel Meyerowitz and Joel Sternfeld, among many others.

I spend a lot of time revisiting the houses, yards, boardwalks and other domestic spaces of the Atlantic coastal towns I grew up in. I travel there 6-8 times a year to continue an open-ended series of day and night views of these places, which for me are full of clues as to how our memories, dreams, and desires are shaped less by where we live now than by where we used to exist.
