Revised artist statement

My work evolves with each walk, every photograph, and each mark I make. The words I use to describe my practice find new shape over time. What follows is a distillation of that evolving understanding and an attempt to explain why I make the work I make, and what I’m still learning from it:

My practice explores musicality as a way of seeing: rhythm, repetition, and trace.

Through photography and painting, I attend to marks in landscape and objects, fragments, palimpsests, and the beauty that can be discovered in decline.

Photography is my act of listening — to light, shadow, and imprint — while painting is an act of translation, layering, burying, and excavating surfaces until something unexpected emerges.

The work resists fixed meaning, and instead favours presence, tactility, and feeling over narrative. It is concerned with the ethereal and the sublime, spirituality without doctrine, and with what it feels like to be alive now.
