Artist Statement:
I've always been attracted to things at the end of the line; the place where one thing ends and something different begins. I have an interest in borders, frontiers; places that might seem obscure on a map but turn out to have greater significance upon closer inspection. I like the feeling of these places and try to convey that in my work. There are places where all the building and tearing up of earth that people do dwindles off and the natural world begins to take over again. I imagine a kind of transition zone between those two places that's in a state of constant slow change, and that's where I look for the right image. I get the feeling of being in that "zone" in many places along the Gulf Coast, where I have found the majority of my images.
