We live in an information-rich yet time-poor culture. I see society becoming more disconnected from nature, disconnected form natural rhythms, cycles and seasons. Often, this manifests into being disconnected from ourselves. Eastern philosophies profess that the present moment is the only “reality” and that both past and future are an illusion. Being in the present becomes my antidote to the sensation of accelerating time. To create these photographs, I frame objects of personal meaning and work in the moment, responding to what feels right. These images rely on an emotional response in order to be understood. This involved ti non-thinking process of presence. Presence is what is needed to become aware of beauty. It is an intuitive response. Photography is an outlet for me to experience the moment, suspend time and re-connect with being. With my work, its is my goal to create an intimate conversation that takes the viewer to a place of silent contemplation.
