Photography, in its essence, is much more than a camera capturing images onto film or recording digital information that becomes visual. The idea of the camera, of an apparatus or architecture which stands between the artist and the outside is more complex and full of possibility.

Influenced primarily by the work of Moholy-Nagy, and seeking intensified immediacy, I developed alternative approaches to making pictures, engaging with the element of light to create a different kind of visuality. The photogram is a similar yet completely different entity: the luminograph records light and movement not shadow, resulting in intense, light-filled images.

Light is dimensional. In the color darkroom I create a unique, camera-less, negative-less, computer-less image. The cone of light descends from the enlarger to create a territory, and it is the interruption of the rays of light that is recorded, burnt into the surface of the cibachrome paper.
