Artist Statement

Everyone experiences grievances at some point or another in their lifetime. Growing up poor with just one parent to confide in made me feel like I always had something to grieve about. I've always felt sort of lost and confused and for the most part have become a loner of sorts. I am interested in a sense of quiet emptiness, but also a bit bizarre, unsettling and strangely funny. I photograph family members, old friends I’ve left behind in my hometown and the landscapes that surround them both. I am documenting a world that I once kept tucked away in the back of my head. In doing this I am gaining a sense of closure on the world I live in currently and the world I came from. I tend to find certain things that others might not, funny. This might be due to the environment I have grown up in. It could also mean I am growing as a person and a photographer.
