Artist Statement
Big Dreams focuses around the idea that humankind shares a sort of imagery bank; elementary ideas from the beginning of time or archetypes as described by Carl Jung. With that said, the concept of elementary ideas or archetypes does not belong solely to modern psychology or modern anything actually. Primitive cultures too recognized and drew upon imagery that commonly resonated with their society. In this project I am looking for big ideas reflected in the natural and modern landscape.

Singular Beauty
“The best of beauty is a finer charm than skill in surfaces, in outlines, or
rules of art can ever teach, namely, a radiation from the work of art of human character.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This collection of photographs resulted from both a personal struggle with body issues, and a long history in the beauty business. In photographing these doctor’s offices, I not only developed my visual understanding of the world, but I was able to reconcile my own feelings about beauty. I found myself less interested the actual place or thing, than in capturing the emotional significance of it–for myself as an artist–and for those who sought their salvation in these chairs, beds, machines and tools.
