In my photographic practice, I draw on the raw material from my personal life to create haunting photographs that examine subtext, narrative, and the stories that lie beneath the surfaces of ordinary life. I examine both the beautiful and the terrifying aspects of human experience through images that are at once deeply personal and evocative of universal experience. Since 2005, my practice has focused primarily on a series of photographs of my immediate and extended family in Florida, Connecticut, Maine and Ohio and the surrounding environments. In this body of work, I have attempted to describe a specific type of narrative that explores a sense of mystery and the unknown – a feeling that something perhaps unknowable is lurking just underneath the surfaces of everyday American experience. I’m looking for a certain strangeness in the mundane and a reality that's stranger than any fiction. Other concerns include technology and its relationship to contemporary life, the built environment, and psychological and interpersonal dynamics. The work blurs the line between tableau and real-world-witness photography. As I continue my work I’m particularly interested in how these stories evolve as my subjects age, new subjects are added and older ones pass on.
