statement
Photography provides me with moments of a trance-like state and a hightened sense of the here and now. Everyday incidentals become suspended as if in mid-air and solid matter dissolves. Urban spaces and details turn into abstract lines and forms that seem to have their own expressive powers.The closer I look at the surfaces of my surroundings, the more their essence and meanings elude me.
Perhaps it is this sense of a reality beyond reach that makes me want to dig and look beneath appearances: to see if I can begin to decipher something from a body language that the most ordinary materials seem to possess.
