statement: "I am interested in the photograph as an object which holds presence and absence in a delicate abeyance and as an object that testifies to the existence of what was before the camera. The paradoxical nature of the medium and its essential dualities, as both representation and authentication, as both an affirmation and a negation of the moment, have become important to my recent explorations."
