My work is about ecology, which is to say, my relationship to my body, where I live, Los Angeles, the people that surround me and my physical surroundings. I observe the relationships of people within Los Angeles and its history, its relationship with the elements, its relationship with its various environments, with health, psychology, and the occult. In general, I am interested in the objects that are left behind in these relationships. The magic of things in a world where consuming is so extremely important.

The meaning in my work is in the doing of it. Just like my pieces themselves, my approach and its results have transformed over time. When I work with a still life, for a short time or one that evolves, the objects I work with, become part of me for their lifespan. My photographs are a record of their evolution or devolution—how within the set objects come together with others, move together for a time transforming each other and then separate to travel their own path. My photographs are simply milestone markers.

The image ultimately captured is defined by the piece to encapsulate a feeling. The light, composition and perspective of the photograph support this mood. Through creating these psychological portraits, I attempt to capture the complexity and intricacy of an idea.
