Direct Address Has Been A Consistent Tactic

Images Are Made Palpable, Ironed Flat By Technology And, In Turn, Dictate The Seemingly Real Through The Representative.

I Try To Deal With The Complexities Of Power And Social Life, But As Far As The Visual Presentation Goes I Purposely Avoid A High Degree Of Difficulty.

I Have Problems With A Lot Of Photography, Particularly Street Photography And Photojournalism - Objectifying The Other, Finding The Contempt And Exoticism That You Might Feel Within Yourself Or Toward Yourself And Projecting It Out To Others. There Can Be An Abusive Power To Photography, Too.

I Mean, Making Art Is About Objectifying Your Experience Of The World, Transforming The Flow Of Moments Into Something Visual, Or Textual, Or Musical, Whatever. Art Creates A Kind Of Commentary.

I Think What I'm Trying To Do Is Create Moments Of Recognition. To Try To Detonate Some Kind Of Feeling Or Understanding Of Lived Experience.
