artist statement

My recent work deals with my fear of failing as a father, and attempts to make something of the successful moments. I use photography to engage my daughter. Together we construct images; she leads at times and at others I beg her to stay still. She has become the impetus, a character, and the audience. I set out to make a fable, but reality has leaked its way into the myth.
