My work reflects a sensitivity toward systems and ideologies that control or regulate human experience. Through my artistic practice, I delve into the messy and unpredictable outcomes of these systems and reveal the layered power dynamics they encompass. By manipulating scale, perspective, and other variables within the photographic medium, I document or (re)create these unintended outcomes within structures or landscapes.
By working with the elasticity of the photographic medium, particularly the interplay between two- and three-dimensionality I create images that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. In addition to photography, my current artistic practice encompasses methods such as collage, drawing, painting, and 3D software.
