My photographic work is a search for elegance, purity, and mystery in organic structures. I am seduced visually by natural subjects that possess qualities ranging from subtle, undu1ating, surfaces to alluring curvatures and curls. I attempt to isolate and preserve these attributes in photographic form with the intention of triggering a response to the metaphoric potential that lies within them. I hope to evoke some form of qualitative association with the eidetic imagery we carry with us from past experiences. In so doing, my objective is to initiate a quiet connection between the natural world and the private interior landscapes of imagination, memory and desire.
