I grew up in an extraordinary, yet nontraditional, family. From this I find a strong pull towards understanding how the brain works and how memory has a physical and emotional impact on our personal and communal lives. While also having a deep respect for history, I realize that everything is temporary and nothing is unimportant. My work is a journey to find the links between the here and the now and the then and the there.
 
I apply process and repetition to go beyond the surface of the everyday and to expand upon my own relationship with the work. Through the study of vernacular photography and place, I am exploring the constructions we create to explain past and present. In my work I question whether to build further connections to memories, or to sever our connections with history. Or to simply let the connections exist, beginning with my own.
