"GHOSTS"

The "ghosts" here are non-specific, but kind of all-encompassing. I realize every day how life is just flying by. I would love to slow things down somehow, and leave markers to preserve specific moments. We really just need to learn to appreciate things as they happen, and use the past to learn to grow in the future. The energy that memories hold is strong, Physical objects and places can work as triggers to access this energy, producing physical and emotional reactions within ourselves. This is why photography is so important to me, and why I have chosen to use this medium to capture moments in peoples lives, to capture that energy present in that moment in time. Similarly, in my artwork, working mostly with inanimate objects, I am trying to capture a feeling or mood that helps to preserve and reminisce, and possibly reveal an energy or presence that remains.
