I’ve always thought of my approach as studying the mysticism of the everyday, so I guess in that way I can see myself as a documentary photographer. What comes to mind is the principle of semantic satiation, which is when words you look at lose their meaning and context until they seem unrecognizable. I approach objects and views with a similar concerted gaze, finding elements that can be scrutinized until they lose context and seem to exist exclusively within the photo. My favorite feeling is eeriness, but a really warm eeriness, and I think there are hints of that in most of the work I make.
