My work unfolds from an attention to vision and its affect. Working across expanded photography, light, and the moving image, informed by the histories of Light and Space, I create perceptual works that explore how seeing is shaped by its conditions. Landscape imagery functions within the work as a perceptual foil; an entry point through which vision is tested rather than depicted. In a visual culture increasingly defined by the proliferation of manufactured images and accelerated modes of consumption, slowing perception to examine its construction and consequences becomes a subtle form of resistance.
Through immersive light installations and site-responsive works, often developed from lens-based sources and explorations, viewers are invited into situations where vision is no longer taken for granted. Light, spatial intervention, illusion, and reconstructed imagery gently destabilize the familiar, bringing perception into focus as embodied and relational. Drawing on Light and Space’s emphasis on duration, presence, and sensory awareness, the work challenges the fiction of objective vision that so often underwrites authority and claims to knowledge.
The perceptual situations I create cultivate attentiveness and uncertainty, proposing perceptual literacy as a necessary capacity in a moment when images increasingly shape understanding and behavior. By complicating acts of seeing, my work affirms the continued relevance of human sensory experience as a distinct form of knowledge, offering a counterpoint to automated visual regimes and opening space for relation, care, and mutual understanding to emerge.
