Artist Statement
I grew up on a four-generation, 1200 acre family farm near Cummings, North Dakota. Immersed in that vast expanse of the Great Plains, I developed a strong affinity for the landscape and the stories it contains. This experience has had a profound effect on my work, as I enjoy creating narratives about place and personal experience through time, historical research, and the landscape.
Process Statement
I tend to use traditional photographic processes. A largely monochromatic palette equalizes my contemporary photographs with those appropriated from family albums and obscures time amongst them. Traditional gelatin silver printing also complements the intimate relationship I have with my subject matter. I selectively use color to also mark time and punctuate my work.
