Inspired by the portraiture tradition, but working in the still life genre, I use objects or belongings, rather than faces, to tell people’s stories. I call these Portraits in Absentia. I seek to illuminate the spirits that permeate these personal objects, which present me with rich opportunities for storytelling.

I make a deliberate effort to remove and edit what is important to me. My vocabulary grows within my own observations and I find tethering my experiences with people helps me retain certain memories. The more I observe, the more my work takes on characteristics of these conscious driven spaces.
