My photographic approach aims to create curious representations of the ecology in the Pacific Northwest while referring to place and memory. I use both camera and scanner, to recreate the scene or subject. I approach a chosen space like an amateur biologist; observing, sketching, noting, scanning, and photographing specimens. Once I have ‘collected’ the scene, I begin the process of visually telling the story of what I saw, and who (or what) may live among us.
