My career has spanned photography’s transition from a film-based medium to a digital one and much of my work incorporates both. For thirty some years, I explored the constructed image, in which I used an array of recycled materials to build sculptural like models in my studio for the expressed purpose of being photographed. I found that the precise vantage point of the camera position and the conversion of color to black and white could be transformative and could create unique worlds, perhaps liberated from the more rational world we encounter in our day-to-day life. Most of my work involves some form of manipulation in order to challenge the popular notion that photography deals with the real and to create a tug of war between fact and fiction.
