Artist Statement

For nearly two decades, my artwork has explored the intersections of history, landscape, and representation. Whether photographing Revolutionary War battlefields, reimagining the U.S./Mexico border, investigating the legacy of a 19th-century Jewish immigrant circus, or reflecting on how photography mediates my understanding of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, I examine how images shape public perception of place and historical narrative.

Formally trained in photography, my practice has since become multidisciplinary. Text, printmaking, moving images, book arts, and installations are all integral to my work. I am particularly interested in the materiality of the image—its pixels, Ben-Day dots, paint, or projections—and how these qualities impact the construction of meaning. My work often layers archival, vernacular, and original imagery to create complex visual fields that compress time and source, inviting viewers to navigate multiple readings simultaneously.
