YES - Brevort, Michigan My inspiration lies in the intrinsic beauty and power of nature and its effects on things made by the hand of man over the passage of time. These "artifakts" are immediately set into a state of decay, nature seemingly continuing to rejuvenate and cleanse itself from humankind’s destructive ways. While making photographs, I consciously attempt to juxtapose man made artifakts with natural elements, conveying a timeless, post-apocalyptic atmosphere where the only hint of humankind’s existence is in the artifakts themselves, gradually surrendering to the powerful forces of nature.
