ARTIST STATEMENT
These photographs were made during nightly walks by myself, as I struggled to balance the tension between my need for pleasure, mystery, longing, comfort, and security.

When I began sharing this work, I also began fielding questions from well-meaning friends that resembled those I might receive at the onset of a new love affair, namely, “Are you being safe?”

I tell them “yes" as shorthand for the truth: that safety is an illusion and outside of my control, but I feel free and very much alive.

CERTAIN GRASPING is a love affair with seeing and feeling what is obscured by shadow—a rekindling of my desire for desire itself.
