“Greenland is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. Half the size of the USA, its population is that of a small village. In summer the sun never sets: in winter it never rises.

“In my best photographs, I’ve identified something that visually excites me and found a way to reproduce that emotion in someone else. With this end in mind, I feel no obligation to record literal interpretations of what I see if another approach feels more effective. InLayers, I’ve used stacking and masking techniques to combine portions of different images to elicit a sense of how the best of the visual world feels to me.”

“Two weeks. More than 1,500 miles. Thirteen rolls of black-and-white film. These silver gelatin prints document the landscapes, cityscapes, sunsets, aliens and vehicles I encountered during a classic American endeavor: the road trip.”

“This work is inspired by a visit to Georgia O’Keeffe’s museum in Santa Fe in 2013. The photographs echo one of her famous quotes: “Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven’t time, and to see takes time — like to have a friend takes time.”
