I have always had a great fascination with the camera. It has the unique ability to preserve a moment in time precisely the way it was, no other artistic medium can truly do this with the same sense of honesty that photography can.
At the same time I have always felt somewhat claustrophobic with photography, confined to the view finder, forced to simply document the world around me.
Earlier in life I painted and I feel in love with the ability to express thoughts onto a canvas with no restrictions. Wanting to produce photographs with that same level of freedom I decided to focus on creating what is portrayed to the camera.
Turning my attention to subject creation rather than subject documentation has proved to be very liberating. With this process I am able to escape the viewfinder and explore the interior landscape of the mind thus creating deeply personal images from imagination and memory.
