“Iwork in both analogue
and digital, sometimes applying liquid emulsion to art paper, burning with chemicals, painting, or using chalk; I
work instinctively. I like the work to look lived in— hence the textures and stains... I think true beauty comes from those who have really lived life authenti- cally, as if their hearts have been ripped open. I like to batter a print to enhance that beauty in an image.”
“Ihave been taking photographs for thirty
years, out of necessity you might say. It puts balance into my life, teaches me things about people, about myself, things I might not have known before I click. I’m very close emotionally to my subjects.”
