Work Statement
I began studying photography as an undergraduate, and dabbled with it for a few years before finally deciding in 2004 to pursue an MFA at the Visual Studies Workshop. Lately I have been interested in what images can be found when limiting the search area to the spaces that I inhabit on a daily basis. I am interested in finding images where human interaction has left evidence of events that occurred in these spaces. I try to give only fractured clues to the viewer so they must bring their own experiences to the image in order create a narrative.

Bio
I was born in South Dakota in April of 1977, raised there, and attended the University of South Dakota earning a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in art. I am currently completing a MFA at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY. I was first introduced to photography by my aunt who was a photographer. Over the years she had given me several cheap point and shoot cameras, but it wasn’t until she passed away and I inherited her Canon AE-1 that I began to seriously make photographs. I have owned many cameras since getting the Canon but it is the only one that has not been stolen or broken.
