I work soley with historical processes- large and medium format cameras, black and white film, handmade toners and oil paints. In the field, I work in extremely low light situations, searching for the ethereal but fleeting unison of light and landscape which appears simultaneously both representational and symbolic. In the darkroom, I hand print each piece, painting with light to enhance and intensify the image collected on the film. By seeking subjects that are visually quiet, the quality of the light itself becomes a large part of the subject and the essence of the piece.
