My work continues the study of the interaction between the man-made and the natural worlds explored by the New Topographics photographers. I find that photography is less a creative activity and more a reductive exercise, an attempt to filter distractions from the visual world. I try to find structures hidden in the banal and chaotic spaces all around us, and in them hopefully find images with a dream-like power and mystery. For me, photography is not just about capturing a moment in time, but about creating a dialogue between the viewer and the image. I strive to create images that are thought-provoking and open-ended, inviting the viewer to bring their own experiences and perspectives to the interpretation of the work.
