I work with the most familiar details of nature — such as fallen leaves, seeds, shells, flowers, and ice — to create dreamlike abstractions of surprising depth and meaning.Learn more.

fallen leaves

My main source of inspiration are leaves that have fallen from the trees. More than a seasonal nuisance to be raked up and discarded, they are a deep and complex source of ideas and metaphor.

litterfall

Whenever I walk outside, I like to gather the bark, seeds, and twigs that fall from trees, known as 'litterfall'.

after the storm

After an ice storm coats the world in a sheet of glass, I carefully venture outside, and explore the shapes and sculptures that form as the ice melts.

mirage and metaphor

I use the raw material of nature to tell stories, approaching my photography like a cinematographer does film.

atmosphere

This series explores the nature of the individual. Each subject is isolated from the noise of its busy environment — solitary but now with poise and purpose.

organic sculptures

I often work with abstraction as if it was clay, using light and focus to shape it into sculptural forms.
