I think maybe the figures - that's a good word - the figures in my pictures are stand-ins for my own need to make a connection.

I never know what to call the subjects in my pictures because I'm uncomfortable with the word actor. I think maybe subjects might be more accurate - or maybe even more accurate is objects.

I think that, in a sense, there's something about photography in general that we could associate with memory, or the past, or childhood.

If my pictures are about anything at all, I think it's about trying to make a connection in the world. I see them as more optimistic in a certain way. Even though it's very clear there's a level of sadness and disconnection, I think that they're really about trying to make a connection and almost the impossibility of doing so.

Every artist has a central story to tell, and the difficulty, the impossible task, is trying to present that story in pictures

My pictures are about everyday life combined with theatrical effect. I want them to feel outside of time, to take something routine and make it irrational. I’m always looking for a small moment that is a revelation

What the artist attempts to do is to try and tell a story. Attempting to give physical expression to a story that's internal.
