Artist Statement

This is my time diary.

I primarily work as a time manipulator and space compressor. For fun I go spelunking in wormholes looking for the artifacts in between portals. This is the best way I can describe the feeling of navigating the world with a camera. To hold the power to grasp the wind of time that blows between my fingers is exhilarating. I grew up alone, and in my solitude and boredom I felt the heaviness of time and found myself hypnotized by its flexibility and inconsistency. Photographing (both still and moving) is the displacement of time and space. But to displace such forces means compromising them into a two dimensional space. Piloting any displacement gives me the same feeling, the rush of speeding on the highway or landing at midnight on an 8 hour flight when your clock is still 6 hours behind. This is what I aim to capture with my camera. 

I prefer analog capture over digital. The tangible nature of film allows for a more intimate relationship with the medium during my process. 

I find remnants of time everywhere in my day to day life; in the trees, the rivers, and the man made structures that stay tethered to the day of their creation. The beauty of the brutality of time exists within a cage of solitude. Trapped in a spiral of time, weighed down, yearning for connection.
