artist statement
Creating in both analogue and digital imaging, I intentionally explore light and space in my work. My intention is to bridge the etymology of photography, "writing with light," with my study of metaphysical practices for the body. Breathwork is a potent asset for producing dynamic outcomes in our reality. Using the rhythm of the breath, I place consciousness and our perception of time at the center. I am curious about intersections in life—those in between areas—or, like the Venn diagram's center, where disparate ideas overlap in relationship. Often, the more closely we examine a line of demarcation or a border, we discover that things are not so finite. In yogic breathing, this liminal space is known as "kumbhaka"--the moments of breath retention where the inhale or exhale is suspended. This is where I find inspiration: in those kumbhaka moments of our shared experience.
