Paris/Budapest
In this project, I investigate what is left behind when we move through religious spaces. My search takes the form of traces of movement, using light as a recording device. How do we experience these sites as spectators, tourists, believers or non-believers? What difference do our intentions make?
Expedition
This project focuses on encounters with foreign landscapes, especially those involving large swaths of empty space. What are we seeking in these blank expanses, sometimes so strange to the eye? Are we looking for a new sort of vision, or rather a recognition of some part of ourselves?
Oceans, Animals
This series involves a second look at objects we often ignore in our environment. As we move through spaces littered with unnoticed things -- hay bales, balloons -- perhaps we can begin to notice and understand them. An ethnography of objects: can we question them? What answers do we expect?
Explorers in the Burning City
This series of monoprints involves a lone figure against a hostile, fragmented landscape. How does the traveler learn to make meaning as he or she moves through disjunctions, ruins, broken space?
