My work attempts to describe momentary encounters
with people. Using photography as a starting point, I hold a photo
shoot with a friend, and see what occurs between us. I usually choose
the image which is the most revealing: it is often also the image
which renders the subject the most vulnerable, both psychologically
and physically. Photography can capture in-between moments
of great awkwardness; painting can extend the length of those moments,
creating a context in which metaphors of mortality and grace can
be extracted out of the imperfections and physical flaws of the
subjects.
