For me, the coexistence of seeming contradictions marks the moment when parallel realities collide. When we recognize that something is both askew and right on the mark, confusion and/or enlightenment usually follow. Humor and irony have colored much of my work as it exploits visual miscues and the deceptive nature of first impressions to examine the power of photography’s surface to persuade us to believe. For the past twenty years I have been making moving and still images that investigate how photographic images infiltrate our consciousness, occupy our memories and influence how we see and experience the world we live in.
