Self Portrait 1997
Photographer’s Statement
I think of my work as firmly based in the classic West Coast Landscape tradition that I use as a point of departure. My aesthetic aim is to present images with multiple levels of meaning. I am interested in exploring the energy that seems to exist between what is represented and what is implied in the photograph.
