Photography

Drawn to the beauty of impermanence, to forms marked by time, fracture and repair, and to the fragile ways in which they continue to hold together. I try to look slowly, patiently and with empathy, staying with what is there long enough for another presence to emerge.

The time I spend photographing becomes a quiet, intimate moment with nature, a pause in which attention turns inward. Again and again, I discover that the closer I look through the lens, the more I am looking inward. What begins as attention to the world becomes, quietly, a way of recognizing myself.
