Storytelling joins us together. It was how we – no matter what culture – communicated, long before the written word. It has remained a uniquely powerful and personal tool used to document the human experience.

My father was a great storyteller – and that was how it began for me. The materials I use resonate inside me and the marriage of these objects represent my stories. Often, the themes are born of a dream, a song or a photo that triggers a memory. The use of text brings additional meaning and serves as a tribute to the power of the written word.

My objective is not necessarily to convey my specific story to the viewer, rather I invite them to bring their own meaning to the pieces and create their own story.
