Each of my projects has to do, in one way or another, with the toll time can take on the home, the body, and the landscape. I am interested in how human beings manage to find meaning in their lives despite this.I am continually struck by the amount of misfortune and catastrophe people can endure in a lifetime. My new pictures are taken in response to the random tumultuousness of the human experience. In fact, I get knocked down quite a bit taking these pictures. This project is an invitation to delve into the complexity of life - and into the unpredictability of it. It's not as if we have any choice about the havoc anyway. I see the pictures as metaphors for the difficult twists and turns of everyday living. The compelling colors and patterns of the ocean may draw you in but the ferocity and brutality of the water are lurking too. Each photo blurs the distinctions between earth and sky, and flat and deep, which is how unbalanced I feel when a crisis hits.
