Into the Unknown

My photographs begin as small dioramas that I assemble on the dresser in the bedroom. The resulting images, created in camera, abandon reality and tap into the world of dreams and the subconcious. Because these are anxious times some amount of social commentary also creeps in, however it is my hope that most of the work remains open to interpretation.
