“Of all the things I wondered about on this land, I wondered the hardest about the seduction of certain geographies that feel like home — not by story or blood but merely by their forms and colors. How our perceptions are our only internal map of the world, how there are places that claim you and places that warn you away. How you can fall in love with the light.” — Ellen Meloy
Wendell Berry wrote, “If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are.” This notion of having a sense of place–the feeling that we can be stitched to a particular geographic location by a thousand tiny threads–resonates deeply with me. I was born and have lived my entire life in the American West. My own sense of belonging to the landscapes, people, culture and values of the West have helped shape who I am today. I feel most at home in the mountains and canyons I grew up exploring.
As a photographer, I continue to cultivate a relationship with the wild places I fell in love with as a child. Through my images, I want to foster in the viewer an authentic sense of attachment, belonging, and stewardship toward the environment.
