ARTIST’S STATEMENT
SELECTED EXHIBITIONS
In this series I make abstractions using a slow
shutter speed shot while moving the camera. Often
exposed at night, these are all found lighting situations printed with minimal digital manipulations. I
take many exposures, experimenting with subtleties and dramas, hunting for how a certain flick of
the wrist divulges new information or drawing out
an exposure to intensify a scene.

Motion and time are rendered visible, graphically
revealing the latent rhythms and patterns of the
material world while tracing the camera’s navigation through it. My interest also lies in process:
how to balance the chaos of a moving camera with
the control gained over patient experimentation.
I am concerned with what motion reveals about
the quality of a light source: does it flicker or
vibrate, does it intersect with other lights, does it
reveal an architectural shape or obscure it? These
images blend a thin slice of space and a thick slice
of time to create a fiction from a mundane reality.
