My work is primarily formalist in approach. Nearly all of my photographic work involves assemblages of multiple images. Working with grids of images and multiple sections of objects allows me to expand the language of photography beyond the limitations of single-frame imagery. The component parts of some of my composite photographs are all of the same subject, which I photographed at the same time and location to reveal various facets of a given subject. Other assemblages may include component parts photographed years and perhaps many miles apart, and the reasons for these composites are formal and aesthetic. Fragmentation of the subjects in the early stages of the work (while photographing) allows for interpretative reconstruction in the late stages of the work (during assemblage and presentation).

My composite photographs are at least as much about themselves (each as a unique, constructed physical object) as they are about the subjects in the photographs. Often

these works are about photography itself and the various options and decisions explored while photographing, editing, printing, and assembling.
