Artist Statement

My artwork addresses photography. While not all of my work is made in the darkroom, my art grows out of a darkroom practice.

An Aquagram® is made with a camera-less process in the darkroom, using photographic paper, light, and chemicals for development. The image in the photograph is a byproduct of its creation, representing both the process and the endpoint in it’s creation.

For me, the Aquagram® resonates with the darkroom and insists upon a particular kind of photography where time and silence must be spent looking down into a body of water, waiting for an image to appear, suspended in a space where the distance between eternity and an instant seems quite short.
