I tend to be a private person, and am naturally less inclined to speak to the specific meaning of my work. I believe doing so may only work against any deeper meaning conveyed to you the viewer. In an effort to not box the work into something that you either ‘get’ or ‘don’t,’ I aim for the work to be expansive rather than finite in its "understanding". My work is all about storytelling. Rather than conveying a specific story to the viewer, I create work with the goal of inspiring a new story within the viewer. All I can do is capture the images that inspire me and ask the viewer to sit with the work, think about what they are seeing, trust their feelings and become a Storyteller all their own.
