Artist Statement<\/h2>\n

These photographs are made in an era when images of the body are generated, filtered, composited, and synthesized at an unprecedented scale. Against that condition, my practice insists on a different order of image \u2014 one made in the room, in front of the camera, through the slow collaboration of light, material, and time.<\/p>\n

Across nineteen years I have worked on the nude not as subject but as a surface through which other things can be thought. Four series form the spine of the practice. UnNude<\/em> treats the body as sculptural geometry, where hard light carves gesture into architecture. Chimera<\/em> fractures the figure through damaged mirrors and refractive surfaces, producing anatomies that exist only within the optics of the camera. Lucida<\/em> dissolves flesh into ultraviolet pigment and long exposure, where the body becomes a phosphorescent membrane. Antemortem<\/em> works with veils, draped textiles, and durational captures to hold the figure at the threshold of disappearance. Each series is a different regime of surface mediation between body and light.<\/p>\n

The transformations happen inside the camera. Damaged mirrors, ultraviolet pigments, long exposures, textile interventions \u2014 these enter the photograph at the moment of exposure, not afterwards. Digital post-production is part of my working process, as it is for any contemporary photographer, but the image’s central decision is made in the shoot. This is not a position against digital tools; it is a position about where the work is located.<\/p>\n

Nineteen years, ten series, one sustained question: the photograph promises a single image of the body, yet no single image can contain what a body is. Each series is a different response to that insufficiency \u2014 not a solution, but a way of working with it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
