Layers of Memory and Form

The Practice

Physicality of the Surface

Intuitive Interventions

Each collage is a unique original work, built through intuitive physical manipulation of photographic surfaces. This process transforms collected observations into new visual experiences.

Precision and Ambiguity

The work balances the precision of the lens with the expressive ambiguity of the hand. Digital image-making merges with painterly processes to reveal new perspectives within natural forms.
