Thoughts - an overview of my work

My interests have been shaped by the image-gathering potential of the camera and the time-and space-altering characteristics of cinema. By cropping and structuring multi-image pieces, my work is as much about creating a sense of motion as it is about investigating the nature of perception. What is "framed" and what is left out? The mind sees fragments but has an uncanny ability to "fill in the blanks", restoring a picture to its "wholeness". I am interested in the alternating tension created by presence and absence, what is seen and what is implied and how this denotes a priori structure. In this play of color, shape and form, I hope to open paths that invite perceptual navigations.
