When does a photograph of a landscape become more than a postcard? How can it become more than a banal reminder of somebody else's vacation?
 

Our experience of the landscape around us is also part of our sense of place and how we see ourselves. In the series Forgotten Places, I am interested in our idea of landscape and in the power of images of anonymous natural and urban landscapes to suggest: to connect us to a sense of place that is beyond simple representation, to conjure stories, to evoke memories, real or imagined, to awaken nostalgia and emotion.  I construct photographs that attempt to reach beyond a passive observation and to transcend the scene and the moment of the photograph itself.

​

My intention is to implicate the viewer through images that draw on familiar motifs that can serve as reminders of other moments. I avoid the spectacular or the particular, in favor of the ordinary and the intimate.These are places that can be sinister or inviting, somber or luminous, and that may speak of isolation or solitude, silence or serenity, joy or melancholy. ​
