Statement

I find our ceaseless desire to transform our environment to be a fascinating endeavor. This collective work of mankind is often fierce, sometimes delicate or caring, but rarely inert.

I probe the boundaries, beautifications, and utilitarian artifacts that we press into service in our effort to control the environment, ourselves, and each other.

I enjoy picking through the questions raised by the work of humanity. Have the works of the past had the intended results? If not, are we making the same mistakes again? And how does this unstoppable human work change our relationships to each other and the planet?

I pour through these questions, and the tangents they spur, while creating visual records of our human endeavor and how it reflects our hopes, challenges, and fears.
